Now Jonasu is back with his new single ‘Trouble’ featuring rising English singer / songwriter Georgia Ku, who has featured on tracks such as NOTD and Felix Jaehn ‘So Close’ and co-wrote global smash hits including ‘Scared To Be Lonely’ by Dua Lipa and Martin Garrix. “I had a great fun day with Georgia and Rory in London when we wrote Trouble,” says Jonasu. “I just met Georgia that day, we clicked in the first minute and started chatting about our lives and quickly into the conversation, about wanting something, knowing that it’s not good for you and still going for it all in. That was the moment the song was born and it just wrote itself in an hour.”

Speaking about how the musical production of the song came to life Jonsau says “We were working in an amazing studio in London, with loads of vintage instruments. There was an old Wurlitzer and I just started playing some old school disco chord progressions and octave bass lines. Georgia loved it, so that became the base of the track. My vision was something bubblegum bouncy and fun, but fresh sounding. Not another disco tune. Georgia is an amazing singer and has the perfect voice for this song, so while we recorded we were both like, this sounds really cool. It’s my girlfriend's favourite Jonasu song.”
