Dutch multi-platinum DJ, producer, and songwriter CMC$ returns with a powerful new single, teaming up with genre-blurring pop duo Terror Jr for the emotionally-charged dance track, “Risk It All.” Released on Day & Night Records / Soave, the track weaves heartfelt lyrics with infectious house beats, merging organic production with a polished pop finish that’s both festival-ready and radio-friendly.
Driven by a steady kick and euphoric melodies, “Risk It All” immediately locks listeners into a hypnotic groove. The spotlight soon shifts to Lisa’s ethereal vocals—emotive, soaring, and reminiscent of classic chart-topping toplines—delivering lyrics that explore vulnerability, longing, and emotional bravery. The result is a song that straddles melancholy and hope, pairing touching sentiments with high-energy rhythm, equally suited for a dancefloor or a quiet evening at home.
Reflecting on the song’s creation, CMC$ shares:
“Lisa came to the Netherlands for a writers’ trip and rented a farmhouse somewhere in the countryside near Amsterdam. I went over there, and we wrote the song together in the farmhouse living room. The process went really smoothly, and within a few hours, we had the song ready! After making several production tweaks, we finally nailed it. This one’s a smash!“
