Songfacts®:

• "Wide Awake" is a single by Dutch DJ and producer Chris Stussy, featuring English rapper, singer, and producer Tom Did It. It centers on total immersion in a dancefloor moment, a state of euphoric dissociation where the music takes over completely. The phrase "wide awake" is both literal and metaphorical, describing the heightened, sleepless alertness of losing oneself in music while simultaneously not wanting the experience to end.
• Chris Stussy is a key figure in the global house scene. He launched his label Up The Stuss in 2020, and his 2023 single, "All Night Long," was a genre-defining club hit that dominated dance music circles and streaming. Along the way, he's played everywhere from Coachella to Amnesia Ibiza, plus the sort of places where sunrise is considered part of the encore.
• Tom Did It fuses UK rap, club-ready beats, and laid-back indie pop. He began his career DJing at weddings as a teenager before adding his own vocals. He has previously collaborated with the likes of Chip, Nafe Smallz, Sigma, and Sigala. Tom Did It operates from his own self-built studio.
• The two were connected through DJ and producer Gaskin, who sent Stussy a bundle of 20 unreleased tracks. When Stussy heard Tom Did It's vocals, it stopped him in his tracks (no small feat for a man whose job is literally playing tracks), so he reached out.
• Chris Stussy debuted the track at a show in Leeds, England, on January 30, 2026, then played it in his live sets across the globe. It racked up 10s of millions of views on TikTok, building massive anticipation before its official release.
• Stussy released "Wide Awake" as a single from his debut album, Lost, Found & Forgotten, on March 20, 2026. The track belongs to the album's second chapter, "Found."
  
  The three-chapter album (Lost, Found, Forgotten) unfolds across 19 tracks, with the "Found" chapter featuring a rich cast of collaborators.
