Don Diablo & Nelly Furtado Drop New Hit “Doing Nothin'”

When two music powerhouses from completely different worlds collide, the result can be either chaotic or electric. In the case of Don Diablo and Nelly Furtado’s new single “Doing Nothin“, it’s pure voltage. Out now via Casablanca Records, the track brings back the euphoric pulse of 90s piano house with a slick, modern finish that’s destined to soundtrack summer 2025.

Don Diablo, currently holding down the #15 spot on DJ Mag’s Top 100, trades in his usual high-gloss future house polish for something looser and more playful. Built around a four-on-the-floor beat and sun-drenched keys, “Doing Nothin” has the DNA of a poolside classic, with just enough rhythmic bounce to shake any dancefloor from LA to Ibiza.

And then there’s Nelly Furtado—effortless, cheeky, and cool as ever. Her vocals glide over the production with a kind of throwaway confidence that only comes from an artist who’s done it all and still knows how to make it sound fresh. It’s not a comeback. It’s a reminder. She never really left.

You can practically see the sun-soaked boardwalk, the oversized sunglasses, the late ’90s nostalgia pulsing just beneath the surface. And yet, thanks to Don Diablo’s crystal-clear production and Nelly’s never-out-of-style charisma, “Doing Nothin'” doesn’t feel retro. It feels like now.

It also signals something bigger: the return of unbothered joy in pop. No melodrama. No dystopia. Just a good beat, a sly hook, and two artists doing what they do best—cutting through the noise with something you actually want to play on repeat.

Don Diablo has been on a roll lately, racking up collaborations with the likes of MK, Jamiroquai, and Robbie Williams. But teaming up with Nelly Furtado—a voice synonymous with an entire era of forward-thinking pop—feels like a cultural moment. A pairing no one predicted, but now that it’s here, it makes perfect sense.
