Songfacts®:

  • ANOTR are the Amsterdam-based duo Jesse van der Heijden ("Jesse") and Oguzhan Guney ("Oz"). They first gained wide attention with a release on Defected Records' DFTD imprint, and broke into mainstream electronic consciousness with "Relax My Eyes." Their 2025 album On A Trip, created during a series of collaborative studio retreats, amassed over 300 million streams.

    "Talk To You," a house/electro-disco single released by ANOTR on March 5, 2026, became their second UK chart hit, continuing the trajectory started with "Relax My Eyes."
  • The song features vocals by 54 Ultra, the project of John Anthony Rodriguez, a New Jersey-based artist who describes himself as a "synth rock pop soul provider." He operates largely as a one-man band, recording from his home in New Jersey, though he plays live shows with a group of hometown friends. The "Ultra" in his stage name comes from Frank Ocean's mixtape Nostalgia Ultra. His catalog leans toward soulful, atmospheric music.
  • "Talk To You" is an invitation for deep emotional and physical connection, with 54 Ultra urging a love interest to open up and let themselves be taken to a higher place through love.
  • The song was written by ANOTR and 54 Ultra during one of the Dutch duo's studio retreats in upstate New York, consistent with the approach they took on their On A Trip album, which was similarly crafted during a series of collaborative retreats.
  • ANOTR play the synthesizers, while 54 Ultra provides guitar as well as vocals. The track reflects the duo's ongoing commitment to live instrumentation and a more human feel in their electronic productions.
