Stockholm artist and producer JÁNA releases new single “I Do” on Kartel Music Group.

“I Do” was produced and written by JÁNA and Swedish producer FAMILY_TIME (Lily Allen, Oscar Scheller, Ady Suleima and JONES). With its plush, soaring melodies and gorgeous vocals, the track fuses alt-pop with R&B-laced acoustic guitars and draws to a heavy synth bass crescendo. 

JÁNA comments on the track “I want my music to be so honest that it feels scary to me. ‘I Do’ is about my feelings for a person I used to date. I thought it felt interesting to make a song that felt very intimate but with such harsh lyrics. It’s a little story about hate and love and how these don’t need to oppose each other. The words ‘I Do’ are often associated with love, for example wedding vows, so it felt interesting to have the song connect with love in that way too”.

“I Do” is the second single to be taken from JÁNA’s debut album, to be released later this year.

JÁNA, (aka Johanna Andrén) was introduced to the world via her collaborations with Swedish heavyweights Little Dragon on her acclaimed debut solo EP Flowerworks. A mediation on relationships – as well as a chronicle of one of her own past relationships, JÁNA’s unique mixture between live instruments and electronic R&B / alt – pop hybrid captured the attention of several outlets.

In 2022, JÁNA released her second EP Works, also written with Little Dragon, FAMILY_TIME, Simon on the Moon and Frank Ocean’s bassist, Ben Reed. She followed this with a remix of the single “Joyride” feat. Vic Mensa, which received support from BBC Radio 1. Recent live highlights include support Leon Bridges, along with performances at All Points East, Lollapalooza and Way Out West.
