Mike Williams and Eirik Næss are bringing major tropical heat with their new single ‘Learn to Fly’, and it’s the kind of feel-good anthem that could only come from a Bali villa, beers, guitars, and zero pressure.
The collab between the Dutch DJ and the Norwegian singer-songwriter blends country flair, tropical house vibes, and classic EDM energy into a breezy, uplifting track that feels like sunshine bottled into three minutes.
‘Learn to Fly’ isn’t just a song, it’s a vibe born out of pure spontaneity. Mike Williams and Eirik Næss created the track poolside with just a guitar, some basic gear, and all the good energy you’d expect from a tropical getaway. “We wrote exactly what we were feeling in that moment,” Mike said, reflecting on the relaxed, natural flow of the song’s creation. It’s that raw authenticity that gives the track its power. You can hear the laughter, the sun, and the ocean breeze behind every beat.
Eirik added that the idea of fusing country-style storytelling with a tropical, EDM-driven production came together naturally. The pair arrived in Bali and immediately started vibing on the idea. Surrounded by palm trees, warm nights, and chill island energy, they leaned all the way in. “We tracked the whole thing by the pool, beers in hand, just soaking in the moment,” Eirik said. That moment became ‘Learn to Fly’, a track about letting go, taking chances, and living like there’s nothing to lose.
Lyrically, it’s all about freedom, freedom from fear, from doubt, from hesitation. The kind of emotional release that comes with dancing barefoot in the sand at sunset. Add in those soaring vocals, catchy hooks, and sun-drenched production, and ‘Learn to Fly’ becomes more than just a summer anthem, it’s a mindset.
Mike Williams and Eirik Næss might come from different corners of the music world, but this track proves they’re on the same wavelength when it comes to making music that feels good and sticks with you. With ‘Learn to Fly’, they’ve crafted a perfect storm of genres that’s as infectious as it is unexpected. It’s one of those rare tracks that works on a festival stage just as much as it does during a laid-back beach day.
