RAYE and Mark Ronson have collaborated on new song, “Suzanne,” the track is now available via Sony Music UK/RCA Records an DSPs. The release is RAYE’s first new music since she became the only artist ever nominated simultaneously for Best New Artist and Songwriter of the Year at the 2025 GRAMMY Awards.

“Suzanne,” was co-written by RAYE, Mark, and musicians Tommy Brenneck (Amy Winehouse, Lady Gaga, Beyoncé) and Eric Hagstrom, “Suzanne” features Ronson’s unique production, combined with a lively horn section. The collaboration long was initiated by luxury Swiss watchmaker Audemars Piguet, of which both artists are brand ambassadors. Celebrating 150 years, this perfect union is part of the brand’s AP x Music series.

Speaking on the long-awaited collaboration, Mark Ronson shares, “I’ve admired RAYE’s artistry for years now, watching her evolution from songwriter to the powerhouse artist she’s become. When Audemars Piguet brought us together through their APxMusic program, it felt like the stars were aligning at exactly the right moment.”

Ronson adds, “This collaboration isn’t just another project – it’s something we’ve poured ourselves into completely…all night tracking sessions in London, New York and Los Angeles. The music we’ve created together carries both our musical DNA but takes us somewhere neither of us would have reached alone.”

“Everything about how this song came to exist, and this moment with Mark and AP, feels meant to be,” shares three-time GRAMMY® Award nominee RAYE. “I used to work in Mark Ronson’s London studio when I was a baby artist focusing on my songwriting craft, and always dreamed of the day I could one day work with the musical genius that is Ronson. From the feeling in my heart that the song should be called ‘Suzanne’ within minutes of hearing the music Mark created, to learning of Suzanne Audemars and the joy I feel in my bones whenever I play this song in my headphones, the overwhelming consensus of emotions is gratitude and pride.”

“Suzanne” marks the first of two releases dropping this month from the duo as RAYE’s Ronson-produced cut “Grandma Calls The Boy Bad News” is also featured on F1 THE ALBUM, the supercharged and star-studded musical companion to Apple Original Films’ high-octane, action-packed film F1, starring Brad Pitt and directed by Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick).

RAYE just appeared at Governors Ball in New York City, and is set to continue her commanding festival run this summer at Bonnaroo (June 15), Glastonbury (June 28), Montreux Jazz Festival (July 9), and Newport Jazz Festival (August 1) – before returning home to headline London’s sold-out All Points East (August 23) featuring special guests Tyla, Doechii, and JADE.
