The latest single in the Canadian-born duo’s recent string of releases (Next To You with DVBBS feat. Kane Brown, Afterparty with Hook & Sling, These Nights with Kiddo), ‘If Only I’ pairs Bebe Rexha’s smooth vocals with Loud Luxury and Two Friends’ infectious beats for a true summer anthem. Both groups gave ‘If Only I’ a very special pre-release treatment in the past weeks, with Loud Luxury closing out their set at EDC Las Vegas mainstage with a firework-filled, high-tempo rendition and Two Friends performing the song live with Bebe Rexha at Coachella 2023.
“We’ve been staying tight-lipped about this collab for a while so it’s incredibly exciting to finally announce the release of ‘If Only I’,” said Loud Luxury. “We have a tremendous amount of respect for the Two Friends guys and find ourselves playing a lot of the same venues, so it truly felt right to finally work on something together. We can hear this track being blasted at pool parties and on boats all summer long and hope you love it as much as we do!”
The music video, which was shot under wraps in California last month, captures the feel-good essence of the track as viewers are immersed in a sun-soaked dance party alongside Loud Luxury, Two Friends and Bebe Rexha, featuring influencer Hannah Stocking. You can watch the music video now via Armada Music TV.

Lyrics:
I can see the sunset
in your eyes, in your eyes
And we ain't even done yet
Don't wanna go home yet
Spent the whole day with you
and we ain't even done yet
Don't you hate goodbyes
Rather say good morning than goodnight
No I can't even pretend
No matter how I try
My body wants you, no, it cannot lie
I don't want this night to end
If only I could start the sunrise, we could lay here all night
If only I could learn to freeze time, I'd hold you forever
If only I had one more day, I'd love you 25/8
If only I, If only I
Show me good love and a real time
I'll show you what a real love will feel like
We could turn a second to a lifetime
Slow it down and make a moment
And baby yeah you know you're the one
Cuz I could fall in love with you twice
I ride all the highs and the lows
Follow wherever you go
Don't you hate goodbyes
Rather say good morning than goodnight
No I can't even pretend
No matter how I try
My body wants you, no, it cannot lie
I don't want this night to end
If only I could start the sunrise, we could lay here all night
If only I could learn to freeze time, I'd hold you forever
If only I had one more day, I'd love you 25/8
If only I, If only I

About Two Friends
Two Friends is the musical creation of longtime companions Matt Halper and Eli Sones whose fitting name reflects their lifelong bond as both musical collaborators and best friends. Two Friends are pioneering an artistic identity that is simultaneously relatable as it drives fans to the dance floor. The pair have released high-voltage original productions like “More than Yesterday (ft. Russell Dickerson),” “No Saving Us (ft. SAYGRACE),” “Graduated (ft. Bryce Vine),” and “Timebomb (ft. Mod Sun). The tandem exploded into the global dance music landscape with their viral remixes of The Killers’ “Mr. Brightside, Blink 182’s “I Miss You,” and their award-winning Big Bootie Mix series, which has amassed millions of streams across YouTube and SoundCloud per installment. The band created their very own festival, Big Bootie Land, for the premiere of a new Big Bootie Mix in a different city every year. This June, the festival came to Chicago at Huntington Bank Pavilion where attending fans were the first to hear Big Bootie Mix, Vol. 23. Testaments to their intricately-produced live sets, Two Friends will perform at iconic venues like Forest Hills Stadium in New York, just to name a few on their current headline tour, ‘Planet Two Friends,’ which kicked off with their Coachella debut. The pair also boast a coveted residency at the Wynn’s XS Nightclub and Encore Beach club, bringing their signature sound to the Las Vegas strip. As they continue building a legacy crossover brand, Matt and Eli will always just be Two Friends.
About Bebe Rexha
If there’s one refrain that follows singer, songwriter, and cultural sound-shaper Bebe Rexha, it’s this: expect greatness, and expect it constantly. It’s a refrain that echoes throughout the singer’s third studio album, Bebe (“the album I needed to make”) – a sumptuously woven tapestry of sounds and influences that finds Bebe – who’s achieved a massive 16 billion total global streams – at her most introspective and mature, tracing her growth through life, love, and everything in between. Heavy on dance but anchored in its entirety by Bebe’s career-best songwriting and singing, Bebe is an album that brims with lyrical highlights, sparkles with nostalgia, and pulse with sleek production and sonic propulsion. A progression in every sense, Bebe takes listeners on a journey hand-in-hand with its storyteller, and we promise: it’s a trip you’ll want to take over and over again.
