New York, NY. / London, U.K. – (August 8th, 2025) – GRAMMY® Award-nominated artist and producer Marshmello shares a blockbuster new single entitled ‘Holy Water‘ featuring GRAMMY® Award-nominated superstar Jelly Roll out now via Mercury Records/Big Loud Records.
Listen HERE.
For ‘Holy Water’, Marshmello brought old school fire and flare to the production. Challenging himself to craft a classic country soundscape, Marshmello notably incorporated 12-string guitar, baritone guitar, and mandolin —which he played in the studio. All of these elements naturally integrate with the up-tempo beat and kinetic synths. Simultaneously, Jelly Roll sounds right at home against this striking and soulful backdrop. He projects his voice with spirit on the hook, “One tear for the brokenhearted, pour out a little holy water.”
It tugs heartstrings and hits as hard as anything either of these icons has done…
Of the song, Marshmello said, “It’s really heartfelt. This is one of the most emotional songs I’ve ever released. It’s about losing a loved one. Unfortunately, a lot of us can relate to that. When I showed the initial idea to Jelly Roll and told him the story, he loved it. He’s an open book, and it was really great to see how it resonated. It inspired me to go in even more on the production and get creative with the country elements. He definitely brought it home to where it is now.”
‘Holy Water’ marks the second country leaning collaboration from the genre bending artist and producer who first made history in the genre when he collaborated with Kane Brown for ‘Miles On It’. The song took flight as “the first song ever to debut at #1 on both the Top Dance/Electronic Songs Chart and Top Country Songs Chart.” The release showcases Marshmello’s ability to seamlessly traverse genres and arrives on the heels of earlier 2025 releases including ‘Worlds Apart’ [feat. Feat. AR/CO] and ‘Save My Love’ [with Ellie Goulding & AVAION], and ‘Slow Motion’ [with Jonas Brothers]. Stay tuned for more to come.

GRAMMY® Award-nominated artist and producer Marshmello has generated 50 Billion streams, garnered diamond certification worldwide, and broken records across styles as diverse as dance music, pop, hip-hop, R&B, rock, and country. The only thing as recognisable as his signature mask is his seamlessly chameleonic production style, which can fit in any lane (while transcending all of them). Audiences immediately fell in love with Marshmello’s magnetically melodic reinvention of dance music. Since his emergence in 2015, he skyrocketed to the forefront of popular music by distinguishing himself as the rare outlier nimble enough to craft a hit with Halsey, Jonas Brothers, the late Juice WRLD, Dove Cameron, Demi Lovato, Khalid, P!nk, Sting, Brent Faiyaz, Bastille, and A Day To Remember. Among a myriad of highlights, he received a GRAMMY® Award nod in the category of “Best Dance Electronic Album” for Shockwave. 2023 saw him drop the Latin album Sugar Papi sweetened by smashes ‘El Merengue’ [with Manuel Turizo], ‘HARLEY QUINN’ [with Fuerza Regida], and more. During 2024, he made history when he linked up with Kane Brown for ‘Miles On It’. It took flight as “the first song ever to debut at #1 on both the Top Dance/Electronic Songs Chart and Top Country Songs Chart.” There are always new paths to tread, ground to break, and levels to reach though. He continues to push boundaries in 2025 releasing “his version of country,” a new single ‘Holy Water’ with Jelly Roll via Mercury Records/Big Loud.
