‘I Levitate’ by Sunstroke captures the excitement of falling in love at first sight, transforming that sudden emotional surge into an electronic new wave and alternative pop single. After ‘Hey You’, which dealt with a complicated affair, this track takes a contrary course by embracing the thrilling nature of a connection that seems immediate and overwhelming. The main image is of a love so strong that it makes someone want to fly to the moon, thus giving the song an uplifting character in a world full of difficulties.
‘I Levitate’ was recorded together with UK producer Mera Bhai and fuses electronic pop with a forward-thinking style. The song’s musical character is influenced by artists such as Björk, Prince, Janelle Monáe, Daft Punk and David Bowie, yet it still follows Sunstroke Rain’s own methodology. It is the third single to be released as part of a series of singles scheduled for 2026, carrying on the collaboration which started with ‘Hey You’. The track combines electronic new wave and alternative pop without losing view of the song’s emotional theme.
The vocals of Sunstroke are at the heart of how the song is presented; her voice is said to be both powerful and ethereal and conveys the song’s positive message with genuine heartfelt sincerity. This quality in her voice matches well with the contrast between the intensity of falling in love and the sense of hope that the song aims to express. Unlike the previous track, “I Levitate”, which focused on the complications it examined, this one looks instead towards the excitement of new love and serves as a reminder that connection can provide something beneficial during difficult periods.
” I Levitate” shows a clear change in subject from “Hey You”, yet it still features the collaboration between Sunstroke Rain and Mera Bhai alongside their style of electronic pop and melodic dance music; the song obtains an easy-to-relate-to emotional focus through its treatment of the excitement of love, the sound being influenced by electronic new wave and alternative pop. Furthermore, the single represents another stage in the 2026 release series, since Sunstroke Rain are scheduled to perform the project live at The Grace in London on 15 November.
