Hitmaker Ely Oaks Remakes Eamon’s 2004 Hit “F_ck it (I don’t want you back)” Ahead of His Coast-to-Coast North American Tour

Born in the Austrian ski town of Kitzbühel and now based in Berlin, Ely Oaks has quickly become one of dance music’s most exciting breakout stars. Blending underground club energy with pop accessibility, he’s built a massive global following—amassing over 12 million monthly Spotify listeners and nearly a million social followers. In 2024, TikTok named him Germany’s #1 most-followed DJ, highlighting his ability to captivate audiences both online and on stage. His viral hit “Running Around” surpassed 100 million streams and landed in Spotify’s Songs of Summer 2025, while collaborations like “Borderline” with LAVINIA and high-profile partnerships with Alok, Timmy Trumpet, and James Hype have cemented his crossover appeal.

Rooted in an eclectic background that spans indie rock, metalcore, and early dubstep, Ely’s evolution from small-town dreamer to festival headliner reflects a fearless creative drive. A viral Florence + The Machine remix launched his solo career in 2021, leading to performances at Tomorrowland, Ultra Australia, and Ushuaïa Ibiza, with a debut at EDC Orlando ahead. Whether through viral remixes or mainstage anthems, Ely Oaks represents a new generation of electronic artists—blending personal history, genre fluidity, and digital-native storytelling into a truly global sound.

“The idea came from Siri [sirinens] and we both absolutely love the original Eamon song. It’s definitely one of those songs that immediately triggers an emotion especially if you know it from earlier times. The moment I realized that this version really added something special was when the chords of the bass came into play. It adds more energy and also a darker vibe, compared to the laid back beat of the original. This gives the whole song almost a new meaning. After it went viral across Instagram and TikTok, I’m so happy to finally share this full version with everybody.” – Ely Oaks

Ely Oaks and sirinens team up for “F_ck it (I don’t want you back),” a high-energy rework of Eamon’s iconic 2004 breakup anthem, out now via JINX Music. Rebuilt around Ely’s fast, festival-ready electronic sound, the track turns the original’s bitter message into a cathartic dancefloor moment packed with driving percussion, bright synths and an instantly recognizable chorus. The release continues a busy year for Ely, following “Self Aware,” his remix of Gryffin, BUNT. and Inéz’s “World Away,” an official Taylor Swift remix and his Steve Aoki and SACHA collaboration “Gravity.”

Originally a major international hit, Eamon’s “F_ck It (I Don’t Want You Back)” spent four weeks at No. 1 in the UK and topped Billboard’s European Hot 100. More than two decades later, Ely Oaks and sirinens give its blunt breakup energy a modern club update just as Ely prepares for an extensive North American tour stretching from late 2026 into 2027.
