To Athena — Collide

With “Collide”, To Athena releases the third pre-release single from her upcoming album “Have I Lost My Magic” (album release: May 22, 2026) on March 13, 2026.

Lyrically, “Collide” explores overwork and the inner urge to keep going — to do more, achieve more, reach higher and higher. The sky is the limit — until it suddenly isn’t. Until you reach the point where you can’t climb any further because you collide with the sky. With “Collide,” To Athena speaks openly about her burnout for the first time — transforming the feeling of being worn out into a musical force that is both fragile and powerful.

Sonically, “Collide” moves like a storm in slow motion: a waltz threaded with strings, building layer by layer while leaving space for what defines To Athena — a voice that carries through the chaos, clear, intense, and filled with melancholic grandeur.

After the first two album forerunners, “Weird Kid” and “Dänke,” opened up new musical directions, “Collide” returns to the kind of emotional depth that first drew attention from fans of “Aquatic Ballet” — yet shaped in the sound of To Athena today.

“Collide” is a song about limits — and what happens when you ignore them for too long. A foretaste of what’s to come, making it clear that “Have I Lost My Magic” won’t be an ordinary album, but a statement: about vulnerability, strength, and the question of how much light you can still carry within you after living against the storm for too long.
