Imagine the electric pulse of Ibiza’s legendary Pacha nightclub, strobe lights flashing, and a track that makes the crowd lose it. That’s the energy of “Freaking You Out,” the explosive new single from Robin Schulz, NERVO, and Schulz’s alter-ego KOPPY, released May 2, 2025, via Warner Music. This progressive house and bass house banger is a departure from Schulz’s signature dance-pop sound, diving headfirst into a club-ready anthem that’s tailor-made for the White Isle’s dancefloors. With Schulz’s Pacha Ibiza residency kicking off May 10 and a joint performance with NERVO on May 31, “Freaking You Out” is set to be the soundtrack of summer 2025. Let’s break down why this track is freaking us out—in the best way possible.
A High-Voltage Club Monster
“Freaking You Out” is a beast of a track, built for sweat-soaked nights and packed dancefloors. It rides a relentless four-on-the-floor beat, layered with pulsating basslines, electrified synths, and sultry vocals that demand attention. Lines like “I’m all or nothing, baby” and “It’s about to go down” add a cheeky, seductive edge, making it impossible not to move. The track’s big-room house influences, paired with KOPPY’s edgy sonic twist, push it into bolder territory than Schulz’s usual pop-leaning hits. NERVO’s mainstage expertise shines through, bringing a festival-ready intensity that feels like it was crafted for Tomorrowland or Ultra.
The chemistry between Schulz, NERVO, and KOPPY is electric, born from years of friendship and mutual respect. As NERVO shared, “We premiered this at our Tomorrowland Winter set, and it went down a treat.” The track’s infectious energy and tight production make it a standout, bridging Schulz’s sleek style with NERVO’s fearless vibe and KOPPY’s underground flair. Whether you’re raving at Pacha or blasting it at a rooftop party, “Freaking You Out” is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
The Powerhouses Behind the Track
Robin Schulz is a global phenomenon, and the numbers back it up: over 20 billion streams, 28 million monthly Spotify listeners, and a record-breaking 15 #1 radio hits in Germany. From timeless classics like “Prayer In C” to “Sugar,” Schulz has shaped dance music culture for over a decade. His Pacha Ibiza residency, running select Saturdays in May and September, is a testament to his enduring influence, with lineups featuring heavyweights like Oliver Heldens and NERVO. “Freaking You Out” marks a bold evolution, showing he’s not afraid to reinvent himself.
NERVO, the Australian sister duo, are no strangers to the spotlight. With a Grammy for co-writing David Guetta’s “When Love Takes Over” and hits for artists like Miley Cyrus and Kylie Minogue, they’ve built a legacy as songwriters and producers. As DJs, they’ve conquered stages at Tomorrowland, EDC, and Vegas superclubs, holding the title of the world’s highest-ranking female DJs. Their high-energy style and pop sensibility make them the perfect collaborators for Schulz, and their shared history adds a heartfelt layer to this release.
KOPPY, Schulz’s mysterious alter-ego, brings a fresh edge to the mix. Introduced last year, KOPPY allows Schulz to explore a darker, more club-focused sound, and “Freaking You Out” is a prime example of this new direction. Together, the trio delivers a track that’s both polished and raw, ready to dominate festival sets and club nights alike.
Riding the EDM Wave
The timing of “Freaking You Out” couldn’t be better. EDM, particularly progressive and bass house, is seeing a resurgence in 2025, with festivals like Tomorrowland and Ultra drawing massive crowds. Ibiza remains the epicenter of dance music, and Schulz’s Pacha residency is a hot ticket, featuring guests like Melanie C and Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano. The island’s nightlife is thriving, with Pure Pacha offering a blend of accessible, high-energy tracks like “Freaking You Out” that appeal to both hardcore ravers and casual clubgoers.
