Dance music powerhouses Steve Aoki and David Guetta reunited to deliver a new anthem, “My Life,” featuring Swae Lee and the late PnB Rock. This release built on decades of friendship and collaboration between Aoki and Guetta, who had performed onstage together and remixed each other’s tracks throughout their careers. Their last joint effort, the 2018 hit “Motto” (featuring Lil Uzi Vert and G-Eazy), set the stage for this much-anticipated original single. Most recently, Aoki remixed Guetta’s 2024 track “When We Were Young” with Kim Petras.
“My Life” saw Aoki start the new year off strong, following the release of his ninth studio album, 2024’s Paragon. The album expanded on the immersive HiROQUEST universe Aoki had created across music, trading cards, and a newly launched graphic novel. Aoki had also worked with PnB Rock on his HiROQUEST 2: Double Helix album, making “My Life” a heartfelt continuation of their collaboration.
Arriving alongside the single was a vibrant, visually stunning music video by OseanWorld, an Atlanta-based artist celebrated for his futuristic visuals and characters.

“‘My Life’ is a meaningful track for me, teaming up with my brother David Guetta, Swae Lee, and the legendary PnB Rock,” Steve Aoki shared. “It’s all about the connections we’ve built and the energy we’ve brought to music over the years.”
The release came as David Guetta dominated dance music charts worldwide. Earlier this month, Guetta broke records by earning his 17th #1 on Billboard’s Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart with “Forever Young” featuring Ava Max and Alphaville. The track had been climbing the Adult Pop Airplay (Top 10) and Top 40 (Top 15) charts, cementing Guetta’s status as a global dance music icon.
“I love creating music that combines dance and hip hop and am so happy with how this track turned out,” David Guetta added. “It’s always a pleasure getting to work with my good friend Steve Aoki, and Swae Lee is such an incredible artist. It’s extra special that we got to use vocals from the late PnB Rock, which provided the finishing touch on the record.”
Swae Lee’s fans had been buzzing about his latest futuristic single, “Doodleverse,” with Pharrell and Lil Yachty, as well as his teased collaborative project with Steve Aoki, dubbed Swaeoki. Lee’s connection with Aoki ran deep—over the years, they had shared stages worldwide, including a memorable performance during Dim Mak’s 20th-anniversary tour in San Francisco, where they engaged the crowd in an audience-wide mannequin challenge.
“‘My Life’ is special ‘cause it’s all about creativity and connection,” Swae Lee shared. “Working with Steve and David, plus honoring PnB Rock’s legacy, made it hit even harder. It’s all about bringing energy and heart to the music, and I can’t wait for the world to vibe with it.”
