About So Far Away (feat. Jamie Scott & Romy Dya)

"So Far Away" is a song by Dutch music producer Martin Garrix and French music producer David Guetta, featuring guest vocals from British singer Jamie Scott and Dutch singer Romy Dya. Released on 1 December 2017 via Stmpd Rcrds, it was written by Scott, Poo Bear, Garrix, Guetta and Giorgio Tuinfort, with production handled by the latter three. The song serves as a bonus track from Guetta's seventh studio album 7. The song was premiered during Garrix's performance at Tomorrowland 2017.

On 30 July 2017, Garrix invited Guetta on stage to perform the song for the first time, during his mainstage appearance at Tomorrowland 2017. This original version featured female vocals provided by English singer Ellie Goulding. On 21 August, Garrix brought Guetta on stage to play the song once again, during a performance in Ibiza. A short footage captured by someone in the booth surfaced on Instagram. Prior to the performance, Garrix spoke to Capital about the song, calling it a "radio-friendly song" that will be released soon. Garrix posted short studio teasers of the song via Instagram Stories on 19 November, suggesting that it would be released soon. On 22 November, Garrix revealed that Goulding was no longer featured on the song, when replying to an Ellie Goulding fan account on Twitter, who commented on Garrix's teasers. Goulding admitted in a series of tweets that her management and label were displeased because Garrix played the song at Tomorrowland before she had even heard the final product, leading to her vocals being cut from the track, but she emphasized that she was not behind the decision. She wrote that Garrix's statement "she didn't want to release it" is "completely untrue and unfair". Garrix confirmed on 26 November that "So Far Away" and the Area21 track "Glad You Came" would be released on the same day, when replying to a fan who tweeted him asking which one comes out first. On 29 November, Garrix released an official teaser on social media, revealing the song's release date and featured artists, Jamie Scott and Romy Dya, the latter of which sang on the demo version of the track.
