    The New York-based artist, DJ, producer and songwriter uses the track to explore attraction, chemistry and the idea of living in the moment, while also reflecting on the work and effort behind success. The title’s central idea plays on the contrast between enjoying life’s pleasures and recognising that meaningful achievements come at a cost.

    Speaking about the track, P La Cangri says: “Free Ride” is about letting go, living in the moment, and enjoying the journey, but also remembering that the best things in life are earned.
