Yes, Andrew WK singing on an EDM-flavored track! Well, MAKJ and WK met at Ultra Music Festival, and Billboard hailed the single as a product of that venue.

“Being that Ultra is an electronic music festival, you can hear the essence of the festival all over the new single. ‘Party Til We Die’ is an electronic party within itself that makes you want to get on the dance floor,” said Liza Blake for Billboard.
