Martin Garrix & Lauv
Mad
Released in 2025 on STMPD RCRDS, Mad brings Martin Garrix back to a more direct, club-focused sound. A track built for energy, tension, and reaction, designed to hit in a live setting.
Martin Garrix first introduced the track during his shows earlier in the year. The response was immediate. Short build-up, sharp drop, no unnecessary elements, everything is structured to work with the crowd. You can feel that it was tested and adjusted on stage before getting its final version.
The production stays in a clean electro house lane, clearly in the same vein as Told You So. The groove is simple but effective, carried by a punchy kick and a catchy lead that sticks quickly. No vocal taking over the track, just a few vocal chops used as rhythmic elements. The focus remains on the drop and the overall drive of the track.
Mad fits naturally into Garrix’s sets. It connects easily with other high-energy tracks and keeps momentum without breaking the flow. In a festival context, it works as a transition tool as much as a peak moment.
A track made to be played loud, tested in front of crowds, and built for that instant reaction Martin always looks for.

You
You don’t wanna make me wait
I know that ain’t true
And you know it’s way too late
Swear
Never had a second thought
Love is never fair
I will always want you more
‘Cause every time I tell you
I need you, I mean it
I need you so bad, so bad, so bad
Yeah every time I tell you
I need you, I mean it
You’re driving me mad, so mad, so mad
‘Cause every time I tell you
I need you, I mean it
I need you so bad, so bad, so bad
Yeah every time I tell you
I need you, I mean it
You’re driving me mad, so mad, so mad
You’re driving me mad, so mad, so mad
You’re driving me mad, so mad, so mad
I’m
Caught in every single touch
Even if I tried
I would never get enough
But every now and then
I feel you lose focus
Every now and then
I sense that it’s over
Every now and then
You rush from the moment
While I’m getting nowhere
‘Cause every time I tell you
I need you, I mean it
I need you so bad, so bad, so bad
Yeah every time I tell you
I need you, I mean it
You’re driving me mad, so mad, so mad
‘Cause every time I tell you
I need you, I mean it
I need you so bad, so bad, so bad
Yeah every time I tell you
I need you, I mean it
You’re driving me mad, so mad, so mad
You’re driving me mad, so mad, so mad
‘Cause every time I tell you
I need you, I mean it
I need you so bad, so bad, so bad
Yeah every time I tell you
I need you, I mean it
You’re driving me mad, so mad, so mad
