Swedish recording artist Tove Styrke has released her brand new single "Start Walking" (Sony Music). The infectious track follows the summer release of "Mood Swings," Tove's first musical offering in three years, and recent feature on Cheat Codes' "All Things $ Can Do" with Travis Barker. "Start Walking" was written together with hit writers & producers Caroline Ailin (Dua Lipa "New Rules + "Don't Start Now"), Sly (Shawn Mendes), Lostboy (Tom Grennan, Anne-Marie) & Pablo Bowman (Marshmello, Alan Walker).
Tove describes "Start Walking" as "a song I made together with some amazing writers and producers and I'm obsessed with it. It's an upbeat song with sad lyrics, which is my favorite combination. It's about a person who knows a relationship is over, and how it sucks to actually be the one to leave but you know there is no other way."
A platinum-selling, Grammy-nominated, and national radio P3 Guld 'Pop Artist of the Year' recipient in her native Sweden, Tove Styrke has been on a meteoric rise since the release of her 2015 album, Kiddo, led by singles "Borderline," "Ego," and "Number One." Since then, Tove has embarked on multiple headline tours, made SXSW appearances, performed on Late Night with Seth Meyers, and has received vocal support from artist peers such as Sam Smith, Tove Lo, and Shawn Mendes. She has also released several collaborations including Cheat Codes & Travis Baker ("All Things $ Can Do"), ALMA ("Good Vibes"), NOTD ("Been There Done That"), Clean Bandit ("Last Goodbye"), and Lost Kings ("Stuck").
