"Levitate“ is Tommy Countach's single with Aztec Records. It is a blend between modern Synthwave, Italo Disco and 80s-Rock. In other words: put the hits from The Midnight, La Bionda, Bon Jovi together and stir well.
Classic analog and digital synths, gritty vocals and a semi-acoustic arena rock drumset bring an energetic and upbeat genremix to the dancefloor. Tommy sings about failing and starting over again using the meme-worthy metaphor from videogame GTA „ah shit, here we go again“. The uplifting song and lyrics hint that there is positivity in every new beginning.
Levitate was produced completely in Tommy's homestudio in Berlin. It features hardware synthesizers like Roland D50 chord stabs, a Korg MonoPoly bassline, Linn Drum Samples and a modern Minilogue XD playing the analog/digital hybrid lead melody. They are accompanied by a huge vocal production with over 60 tracks ending in a big vocal canon in the outro.

[LYRICS]
Ah shit, here we go again
Break it down break it down again
Watch me level up the game
Higher
I used to give it all
Just to tear it all apart
I had to lose it all
Just to go back from the start
I'mma get a new guitar
And rise into the dark
Reboot, restart, restart, restart
Ah shit, here we go again
Break it down break it down again
Watch me level up the game
Higher higher
Shush, it's too late to wait
So live it up live it up again
If you try to pull me down
I'm gonna levitate
Don't drag me down
Let's take it higher
Let's take it higher
I won't back down
Let's take it higher
Let's take it higher
I'm only getting started
Better watch out for the bang
You can push me off
But I'll hit back like a boomerang
Nothing up my sleeve
But sick of playing save
Go all in, go all in, still got it, still got it
Ah shit, here we go again
Break it down break it down again
Watch me level up the game
Higher, higher
Shush, it's too late to wait
So live it up live it up again
If you try to pull me down
I'm gonna levitate
Don't drag me down
Let's take it higher
Let's take it higher
I won't back down
Let's take it higher
Let's take it higher
Three, two, one
I'm floating ten feet off the ground
You can't bring me dwon
'cause fate wont fail me now
I'll strive and I will suffer
I will fail and play pretend
I'm gonna push my luck too far
And do it all again
I'll get lost, i'll discover
I play havoc with my plans
Upon chaos i will rise
And take it higher higher
Ah shit, here we go again
Break it down break it down again
Watch me level up the game
Higher, higher
Shush, it's too late to wait
So live it up live it up again
If you try to pull me down
I'm gonna levitate
Don't drag me down
Let's take it higher
Let's take it higher
I won't back down
Let's take it higher
Let's take it higher
Three, two, one
I'm floating ten feet off the ground
You can't bring me dwon
'cause fate wont fail me now
Ah shit, here we go again
Break it down break it down again
Watch me level up the game
Higher, higher
Shush, it's too late to wait
So live it up live it up again
If you try to pull me down
I'm gonna levitat.e
