Cheat Codes and Train join forces for an unexpected collaboration with their new song “Bloom.” It’s the perfect end-of-summer track, blending pop, tropical, and dance.

About working with Cheat Codes to produce Bloom, Train frontman Pat Monahan said:

“I’m a big fan of Cheat Codes. I love their songs, energy and the whole vibe they put out to the world. When I heard ‘Bloom’ I thought, ‘This song is huge! They definitely do not need me.’ I was so excited that they disagreed and wanted me on the track. This is an incredible song and I am so proud to be on it with these guys. Can’t wait for you all to hear it.”

About collaborating with Train, Cheat Codes said:

“Working with Pat and Train was a full circle moment for us – we’ve been fans of the band ever since we could remember and their music represents a soundtrack that’s already a part of our lives. Getting to meet Pat and work together reminded us why we do this. ‘Bloom’ is our summer anthem and daily reminder to surround yourself with people you love who you know will always have your back.”
