Martin Garrix & Jex
Told You So
Martin Garrix teams up with Jex on Told You So, a track that plays on emotion without going over the top. The production stays clean and controlled, built around warm synths, light strings and a steady bassline that lets the vocal breathe.
Jex carries the track with a soft but precise delivery, leading into a drop that doesn’t try to explode but instead keeps the tension alive. The hook, “Don’t wanna hear my heart say, ‘I told you so,’”, hits immediately, simple, honest, effective.
The story behind the track adds something real. It started on TikTok, with a raw vocal idea posted online. Martin picked it up, reached out, and shaped it into a full release while keeping that original feeling intact.
Martin and Jex premiered this song during ADE 2024 with 2 performances. A good example of where his sound is heading lately, less about impact, more about connection. Read our exclusive interview with Jex, here!

Lyrics
Written by Martjin Garritsen / Jordan Marie Miller / Jeffrey David Burns / Rob Madethis.
Something in my body, something that’s in my soul
Tells me you’re somebody, someone I need to know
No, I can’t leave this early if I just let this go
Don’t wanna hear my heart say, “I told you so”
All day, all night, been looking all my life
Trying to find something new
So lost, but I, I’ll find my way tonight
And I know it’s because of you
Eyes are on me, I can feel the fire
Not like anything that I’ve ever known
Might be the one and only chance I get with you
And I’ll regret it if I take it too slow
Something in my body, something that’s in my soul
Tells me you’re somebody, someone I need to know
No, I can’t leave this early if I just let this go
Don’t wanna hear my heart say, “I told you so”
Don’t wanna hear my heart say, “I told you so”
Could run, could hide, but I won’t sleep tonight
Wondering what did I lose?
I can’t deny knowing that feeling’s right
I bet you feel the way I do
Oh, your eyes are on me, I can feel the fire
Not like anything that I’ve ever known
Might be the one and only chance I get with you
And I’ll regret it if I take it too slow
Something in my body, something that’s in my soul
Tells me you’re somebody, someone I need to know
No, I can’t leave this early if I just let this go
Don’t wanna hear my heart say, “I told you so”
Don’t wanna hear my heart say, “I told you so”
Balls, they’re falling, heart is all in
This is what it feels like
Balls, they’re falling down
And you know I won’t fight
I’m feeling something in my body, something that’s in my soul
Tells me you’re somebody, someone I need to know
No, I can’t leave this early if I just let this go
Don’t wanna hear my heart say, “I told you so”
Don’t wanna hear my heart say, “I told you so”
