Jason is a song by The Midnight featuring Nikki Flores. It is the fourth track from their album Endless Summer.

The song was written by band members Tim McEwan and Tyler Lyle alongside Nikki Flores and produced by McEwan. It has a running time of five minutes and 31 seconds and is in the key of F major. The saxophone on Jason was performed by Thomas Edinger.

McEwan has said that the drums in Jason are "a clear homage to Maniac by Michael Sembello."

Demo version

An early demo of Jason was released as a prize during the Fall 2020 ARG. Titled Jason (The Equalizer early demo), the most noticeable difference heard compared to the final version is the backing track being recycled into the song The Equaliser (Not Alone). At some point, a new track was composed for Jason. The only vocals in the demo are by Nikki Flores, with the first verse and chorus being sung twice. Her vocal track is unchanged between versions.

Lyrics

Early Jason art

[keep on running]

He comes alive in metropolis lights when the musics way too loud
Deep in the night it's easy to hide and he's got it all figured out
White satellites getting lost in his eyes but to him she's just another girl
Roll with the tide like the wind and the sky and he'll only let you down

Oooh Jason
Tell me what you're chasin'
Because the night will never give you what you want
Oooh Jason
And if you can't escape it
I hope you find whatever you've been looking for

Where do you go in a town full of ghosts and everybody knows your name
And all the homecoming queens in the small town scenes they'll offer you a place to stay
Some want forever instead of whenever when they're naked in the light
It's a strange little potion but sometimes the motion almost makes you feel alive

Oooh Jason
Tell me what you're chasin'
Because the night will never give you what you want
Oooh Jason
And if you can't escape it
I hope you find whatever you've been looking for

And I'm gonna keep on running

The Midnight Remixed 02 is the second remix album by The Midnight. It was released through Silk Music on September 27, 2019. The album contains remixes of songs from all previous The Midnight releases.

Prior to the release of The Midnight Remixed 02, Silk Music issued three remix singles: Shadows (Uppermost Remix), Arcade Dreams (Timecop1983 Remix), and Kids (PROFF Dub Remix).

Background

Released in 2017 by Silk Music, The Midnight's first remix album The Midnight Remixed was the band and label's biggest commercial success at the time, making an appearance on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Albums Chart. With The Midnight having released Nocturnal and Kids in the time following The Midnight Remixed, there were many new songs with the potential to be reimagined, and this led Silk Music and The Midnight to collaborate once again for The Midnight Remixed 02.

The first single from The Midnight Remixed 02 was Shadows (Uppermost Remix), announced by Silk Music on August 13, 2019, for an August 23 release. The album's artwork, tracklist, and release date were revealed on August 27. On September 9, Silk Music announced two more singles from the album: Arcade Dreams (Timecop1983 Remix) and Kids (PROFF Dub Remix), to be released on September 20 and 27 respectively.

Peaking at number eight on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Albums Chart and number one on the USA iTunes Dance Top Albums Chart, The Midnight Remixed 02 proved to be another winner for Silk Music and The Midnight.

Official description

Since the August 2017 release of "The Midnight Remixed," one of the most thrilling and spiritually rewarding endeavors in our label's history, Tim McEwan and Tyler Lyle, better known as The Midnight, have released a #1 Billboard Dance album ("Kids") and toured much of North America, Europe, and Australia. It is safe to say that the acclaimed discography and global popularity of the Los Angeles and Atlanta-based duo have both grown dramatically, since we at Silk Music last had the privilege of developing and releasing new remixes of their indelible tunes. Indeed, The Midnight is currently in the midst of another world tour, which will take them through the United States, Europe, and ultimately, Mexico, near the end of this year.

Flash forward to today, as we joyously announce the sequel, "The Midnight Remixed 02," featuring brand new remixes of more favorites by The Midnight, from "The Years" (off their debut EP, "Days Of Thunder") to "Lost Boy" (the first single from their most recent LP, "Kids"). This time around, we have recruited a cast of (almost) entirely fresh faces on remix detail, including legendary synthwave artist Timecop1983, indie-electronic phenom Uppermost, acclaimed retro-tinged act ERKKA, and deep-and-dark-progressive maestro Nox Vahn. Russian sensation PROFF, the only artist to appear on both 'Remixed' editions, offers a visionary take on "Kids" that brims with creativity, power, and musicality alike. Rounding out the extraordinary roster of remix artists, Silk Music veterans Claes Rosen, Dan Sieg, Kobana, Blood Groove & Kikis, Jayeson Andel, and A.M.R all deliver emotive and inspired renderings, ranging in style from introspective deep house cuts to cinematic-electronic power ballads. We are truly overjoyed to finally reveal these emotive and intelligent new takes on eleven more of The Midnight's celebrated classics, all of which have never been remixed before.
