Daya Kicks Off New Era with “Infrared” and Celebrates “Hide Away” Milestone

 Daya’s new single “Infrared” launches ahead of her anniversary celebration and tour dates.

Pop powerhouse Daya is officially back with “Infrared,” her latest single out now through ONErpm. It’s her first release in a year and brings with it a bold mix of confidence and intimacy. The track leads into a trio of live dates with Trixie Mattel in Chicago, Minneapolis, and Nashville.

“‘Infrared’ captures this bold, confident bravado while also revealing a sincerity and fragility beneath the surface, which, for me, reflects the feelings of being intimate with someone for the first time,” Daya shared.

This return comes at a milestone moment—ten years since Daya’s breakthrough with “Hide Away.” The song has gone 4x Platinum and hit nearly 700 million streams. Alan Walker’s 2025 remix revived interest in the track with 20 million streams and a viral wave of over 300K social video creations.

Daya has continued to evolve with collaborations like Dom Dolla’s “Dreamin,” which pulled in 50 million global streams and hit #2 at Australian radio. It’s also holding strong at #15 on U.S. radio charts.

Now an independent artist, Daya is charting her own course. “Infrared” reflects her growth as both a songwriter and performer, with a fresh sound that blends emotional storytelling with dance-floor appeal. And with more collaborations ahead, 2025 is shaping up to be a pivotal year in her career.
