Today, January 25, TWO FRIENDS debut their new single and first release of 2019, “Take It Off,” a fun-loving dance-pop track with relatable lyrics about building trust in a new relationship. The track is accompanied by TWO FRIENDS’ signature upbeat and bright production style paired with soothing vocals conveying a feel-good emotion. In support of the new track, TWO FRIENDS are currently on the road this winter on the “With My Homies Tour,” their largest North American tour to date.
After a successful kick-off this past weekend with two sold-out shows at NYC’s legendary Irving Plaza (January 19 & 20-images available via GETTY here) with another sold-out show at Chicago’s Concord Music Hall tonight, “The With My Homies Tour” continues to touch down in most major U.S. markets, bringing TWO FRIENDS’Matt Halper and Eli Sones to venues such as the Concord Music Hall in Chicago, the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles and the Gothic Theater in Denver for the first time.

“‘Take It Off’ is about being with someone that is closed off because of past relationships. All you want to do is scream ‘TRUST ME!’ but it’s not that easy to let their guard down when they’ve done the same thing before and it’s messed them up,” says TWO FRIENDS as told to Billboard Dance. “It’s always a musical challenge to write from the opposite gender’s perspective, but we think this song can relate to anyone that’s been in a relationship with someone closed off.”
Known for their viral remixes of Red Hot Chili Peppers‘ “Otherside,”Dua Lipa‘s “IDGAF,” Charlie Puth‘s “How Long,” The Killers’ “Mr Brightside” and KanyeWest‘s “Touch The Sky,” as well as their latest original offerings “Bandaid,”“Just A Kid,” and “With My Homies,” Los Angeles’ TWO FRIENDS have quickly grown from high school bedroom producers into one of the most promising producers/songwriters in dance music.
Meanwhile, for the last two years, they’ve made music mixes that have been soundtrack staples for college parties and tailgates nationwide with their Big Bootie mixes which highlights their skillful edits of many favorite songs and remixes from top pop, rock, hip-hop and EDM artists.
