Martin Garrix and Ed Sheeran Release Original 2015 'Repeat It' Demo

The Big-Room Original Surfaces

The 2015 version of "Repeat It" runs on four-on-the-floor kicks and a punchy, plucked synth lead that sits squarely in the big-room house sound that defined festival mainstages of the era. The track first premiered during Garrix's 2015 set at Ultra Music Festival in Miami and circulated for years via fan uploads before stalling out amid label and rights complications tied to the superstar artist's era at Spinnin' Records.

Three Versions in Six Weeks

The pair broke the standoff with an official 2026 release version in May, timed to Garrix's 30th birthday, then followed it with an acoustic rendition a month later. This latest cut, out now via STMPD RCRDS, is the third version of the song to see the light of day over six weeks. Where the 2026 single leans euphoric and melodic, folding Sheeran's pop sensibility into guitar and orchestral textures, the 2015 cut is more a product of the moment. The energy is hands-up rather than wistful, a snapshot of the sound Garrix was sharpening in the years after "Animals."

A Decade-Long Wait Ends

For longtime fans, the release lands like an artifact from one of Garrix's formative career chapters and a chance to finally hear the version that started the chase in the first place. The track spent more than a decade as one of dance music's most sought-after unreleased IDs before finally receiving an official release.
