“We are super excited to share the SEVENTEEN version of ‘Love Is Gone.’ This was such a special collaboration and opportunity to work with a group of incredibly talented artists to create a brand new world for this record. The SEVENTEEN version stays true to the emotional core, but breathes new life with fresh vocal melodies and overtones. We hope everyone who has heard the original gets a chance to hear this brand new version!” – SLANDER

First released in 2019 with Dylan Matthew and then as an acoustic version in 2021, both became global hits, with the acoustic now one of Spotify’s most streamed acoustic songs at over 600 million streams, and 1 billion streams across all platforms. The song’s emotional vocals have resonated deeply with millions around the world, making it a defining moment in SLANDER’s discography and a viral anthem. Now, SLANDER reimagines this global hit with K-Pop powerhouse SEVENTEEN. With an emphasis on delicate piano chords, Joshua’s warm vocals add fresh intimacy while keeping the acoustic soul that made the original timeless. This simple arrangement gives the lyrics more weight, coupled with the melancholy melody, makes every line feel personal and heart-wrenchly intimate. His delivery breathes new life into the song, making it feel nostalgic and new.

This collaboration connects SLANDER’s following with SEVENTEEN’s massive international audience, proving the universal appeal of Love Is Gone, and an opportunity for fans of dance, K-pop, and acoustic ballads to experience the song’s emotional depth through a new voice. Joshua’s presence brings the song to millions more and shows the power of cross-genre collaboration. With SEVENTEEN’s global star power and the original’s legacy, this version is set to reach new listeners. More than a remake, this release honors what fans loved about the song and shows how timeless songwriting connects us no matter where we are in the world.
