GRAMMY-nominated duo SLANDER and acclaimed vocalist HALIENE unite on Save Tonight, an emotional reimagining of Eagle-Eye Cherry’s iconic ’90s hit. Out September 26, 2025 via Heaven Sent, the single transforms the beloved classic into a modern melodic bass anthem that fuses nostalgia with innovation.
Built around HALIENE’s crystalline vocals, Save Tonight captures the urgency of cherishing fleeting moments. Her performance shifts from delicate restraint to soaring intensity, carried by wistful piano motifs, lush pads, and cascading synths. The production seamlessly balances emotional intimacy with festival-ready energy, crafting a version that honours the original while propelling it onto today’s global dancefloors.
“Save Tonight is here!” says SLANDER. “We grew up listening to the original song, so being able to reimagine it was a dream. Huge thanks to HALIENE for absolutely crushing the vocal. We hope this version gives new life to such a legendary track.”
The release follows the success of SLANDER’s recent single Broken Hearted with San Holo and Julia Church, which has surpassed 1.8 million streams. Save Tonight has already generated buzz, debuting during SLANDER’s inaugural Starbase festival and their back-to-back set with Illenium at EDC Las Vegas. As part of their immersive Voyager Tour, the duo will perform the track live during its release week at major events including Tomorrowland’s Unity at the Sphere.
Reflecting on the project, HALIENE shares: “The original Save Tonight was such a classic from my childhood. Those chorus lyrics capture the feeling of being at a festival with friends, lost in the moment, wishing it would last forever. Together with SLANDER, we turned it into an emotional bass anthem, blending timelessness with a new perspective. Debuting it at EDC, Starbase, and the Sphere was truly magical.”
For HALIENE, the single marks another milestone in a career defined by voice and vision. Twice named EDM’s Female Artist of the Year (2023, 2024) and Grammy-nominated, she is one of melodic dance music’s most sought-after voices, with collaborations alongside Illenium, Armin van Buuren, Excision, Seven Lions, and Gareth Emery.
Save Tonight stands as a testament to the mission of Heaven Sent: to be a home for emotionally resonant, forward-facing bass music. The track is a meeting of legacy and modernity, breathing new life into a timeless classic.
