Tiësto Teams Up with Alana Springsteen for New Song “Hot Honey”
Dutch DJ Tiësto released a new song “Hot Honey” along with a music video on July 25, 2024.
The song is the follow-up to “ZENLESS” with Lucas & Steve, Silent Child, and Sān-Z from the action role-playing game “Zenless Zone Zero”.
This time, he recruited Nashville-based singer-songwriter Alana Springsteen for the song.
The track combines electronic sounds with country music.
It was written by Alana Springsteen, Cowboy Lansky, Danny Silberstein, Dillon Reed, Ido Zmishlany, Mags Duval, Nicholas Sarazen, Peter Thomas, Tijs Verwest, and Tyler Spry. Produced by Tiësto and Tyler Spry.
The accompanying video was directed by Aerin Moreno.
Tiësto said of the song, “I've always been drawn to fun/party side and the authenticity of Country music, so when I had the opportunity to team up with Alana Springsteen to make a Country dance song, I was super excited!. Alana has an incredible voice, which is precisely the texture this song needed, and I respect her abilities as a songwriter as well as her artistry. This is a different sound for me but as you know by now, I like to explore and am inspired by all different genres when making dance music! I hope you enjoy this song as much as we did creating it.”- Alana Springsteen said, “How often do you get the chance to collaborate with one of the most iconic DJs of all time? When Tiësto reached out to see if I'd want to get creative with him on 'Hot Honey,' I saw it as the most invigorating opportunity. I've always loved exploring sonically and being able to do that with dance music while staying true to my Country roots - that's what excites me about being an artist and songwriter. I'm honored that Tiësto trusted me with this song, and I can't wait to sing it live at one of his insane shows!”

She said of the video, “Hot Honey music video... one of the wildest shoots i've been a part of. we shot all night from sunset to sunrise in the middle of nowhere tennessee. i've never been so hot and so cold on the same set. i went up in literal kerosene smoke on a bed suspended in mid-air and froze in water tanker rain at 4am. seriously tho go watch this cuz a lot of blood sweat and soot went into bringing this to life.”
