"With You" is a song by American DJ Kaskade and American singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor, released on June 14, 2019, through Columbia Records.[1] The song was written by Robert Gerongco, Samuel Gerongco, Terence Lam Sarah Aarons, Finn Bjarnson, Richard Beynon, Ryan Raddon and Thomas Shaw, and produced by the latter four.

Background and promotion

About working with Meghan Trainor, Kaskade said that "when the opportunity came to work with her it was an easy yes for me. I knew we could put something together that would be fun, meaningful and above all, sticky enough that people can’t help but sing it after one listen".[2] While the former stated that "it was a dream come true".[2]

Kaskade announced the collaboration in a post to social media on June 10, 2019.[3] A snippet of the song was previewed a few days later.[4]

Critical reception

Idolator's Mike Wass wrote that the electropop song finds Trainor "in a typically feisty mood as she lays down the law to a no-good boyfriend", adding that "by the time we reach the chorus, Meghan has had enough".[5] Bella Bagshaw of Dancing Astronaut opined that "Kaskade kicks his digestibility up a notch on" it, and that "the track's ricocheting synth line and fluttering, pitched-up vocal chops ensconce the track like celebratory glitter".[6]

Music video

An accompanying animated video for "With You" was released on July 8, 2019. The visual sees Trainor and Kaskade explore a psychedelic outer space, flying a spaceship and crashing on rocky terrain populated by three-eyed cats.[7] According to Billboard's Kat Bein, "it's a psychedelic trip through the single's bouncy synth rhythm".[8] The Romeo Salazar-directed official music video was released on August 15, 2019.[9]
