Bailey Zimmerman and Diplo Kick Off Summer 2025 With Party Anthem 'Ashes'

With Ashes, Bailey Zimmerman continues his run of hit singles — this time with Diplo in the mix. Discover the inspiration and what’s ahead for Zimmerman’s next album.
Bailey Zimmerman has teamed up with Grammy-winning producer
Diplo for a high-energy single Ashes. The track marks the duo’s second collaboration following Diplo’s 2024 remix of Religiously. Ashes appears on Zimmerman’s upcoming album Different Night Same Rodeo, set for release August 8 via Atlantic/Warner Music Nashville and produced by Austin Shawn.
With lyrics that play on heartbreak and “old flames,” the song draws on Zimmerman’s real-life relationship experiences. Zimmerman promoted the release with a creative lemonade giveaway and a Diplo cameo in the Comin’ In Cold video. The launch follows a run of hits, including Backup Plan with Luke Combs and Holy Smokes, as well as the record-breaking success of Zimmerman’s debut album. As Ashes arrives, Zimmerman heads into a busy summer tour with stops all over North America.
