A firm highlight from Above & Beyond’s brand-new artist album Bigger Than All Of Us, Ride At Dawn has already taken the world by storm. After its release, the track went viral on TikTok, soaring to #2 on the global chart and soundtracking content from @England, @NFL, @WWE, and even @ManUtd — amassing over 1.5 billion videos worldwide.
Musically, the song begins in a slow, atmospheric haze, gradually unfolding into a trance anthem that radiates warmth, strength, and resilience. At its core lies Zoë Johnston’s deeply moving vocal delivery, weaving themes of love, protection, and vulnerability into every note. Her own words reflect the duality of the song’s spirit: sometimes we are the “unstoppable rider” shielding those we love, and other times we are the ones grateful for the kindness and protection of others.
For more than two decades, Above & Beyond — Jono Grant, Tony McGuinness, and Paavo Siljamäki — have shaped the global trance scene, building not only a discography of anthems but also a worldwide community through their Anjunabeats label and the Group Therapy brand. Known for tracks like Sun & Moon, Thing Called Love, and Northern Soul, their signature lies in the emotional depth they bring to club-driven soundscapes.
Zoë Johnston, a frequent collaborator since 2004’s No One On Earth, has been a guiding voice in this journey. With her distinct ethereal tone and lyrical honesty, she has become synonymous with Above & Beyond’s most poignant moments, from We’re All We Need to My Own Hymn. Ride At Dawn is yet another chapter in the timeless legacy of vocal trance.
Ride At Dawn is more than just another single — it’s a universal anthem of care, resilience, and human connection. Its viral success proves that trance still has the power to touch lives far beyond the dance floor, resonating across sports, culture, and personal moments.
