GRAMMY® Award-nominated artist and producer Marshmello has released his powerful new single “Holy Water” featuring fellow GRAMMY® Award-nominated superstar Jelly Roll, out now via Mercury Records/Big Loud Records.
On “Holy Water,” Marshmello brings an old-school warmth and authenticity to the production, challenging himself to craft a classic country soundscape. Layering 12-string guitar, baritone guitar, and mandolin—all played by Marshmello in the studio—the arrangement blends seamlessly with an up-tempo beat and kinetic synths. Against this rich and soulful backdrop, Jelly Roll delivers a heartfelt performance, his commanding vocals soaring on the emotional hook: “One tear for the brokenhearted, pour out a little holy water.”
“It’s really heartfelt. This is one of the most emotional songs I’ve ever released,” shares Marshmello. “It’s about losing a loved one. Unfortunately, a lot of us can relate to that. When I showed the initial idea to Jelly Roll and told him the story, he loved it. He’s an open book, and it was really great to see how it resonated. It inspired me to go in even more on the production and get creative with the country elements. He definitely brought it home to where it is now.”
“Holy Water” marks the second country-leaning collaboration from the genre-bending producer, following his groundbreaking 2024 hit “Miles On It” with Kane Brown—the first song in history to debut at #1 on both the Top Dance/Electronic Songs Chart and Top Country Songs Chart. The new single further proves Marshmello’s ability to transcend genres, arriving on the heels of his 2025 releases “Worlds Apart” [feat. AR/CO], “Save My Love” [with Ellie Goulding & AVAION], and “Slow Motion” [with Jonas Brothers].
With “Holy Water,” Marshmello and Jelly Roll deliver a stirring anthem that blends heartfelt storytelling with dynamic production—showcasing the limitless possibilities when two of music’s most versatile talents join forces.
