The Chainsmokers have shared their new single "Already Know" with Swedish singer-songwriter Oaks (also known as Winona Oak). The track appears on their just announced EP with Oaks, "Love Is Kind", which will be released on May 8th.

"Already Know" follows their previous collaboration "Echo" and continues a renewed creative partnership between the artists, building on the chemistry first heard on their 2018 hit "Hope," according to the announcement.

Alex Pall and Drew Taggart had this to say about the new collaboration, "A few months ago we made Echo, then we made another song, and another and another. I can't remember the last time we had a creative flow like this. Tbh this followed a period of feeling really stuck in the studio. Maybe we had too many ideas about what 2026 could sound like for us.

"The year started with a 2016 trend popping off and it's crazy to see Roses and Closer and Paris etc connect with a new generation. It almost feels like they are loved even more then when they came out. Thanks for that.

"But also that left us in a weird place creatively. It made us think a lot about the magic in that era and what was making people connect with it again. We are still working on the answer to that question and I think we are getting close.

"Making this EP helped a lot. Winona fell in love since we had last saw her that has fueled the story behind all these songs. We wanted to keep that story (and her mesmerizing voice) in the center of this project and build a world around it with the production. Our only criteria was to make sure it would be extremely fun to play in our set. It was therapeutic to work within those self inflicted parameters. The result has been beautiful. We love you Winona and we can't wait for you all to hear these records!"
