Break A Sweat: Alex Di Brita Returns with a Seductive, Nostalgia-Fueled Pop-Rap Smash
Following the high-octane success of his anthem “Boot It Up,” Toronto’s own rising star Alex Di Brita is back to turn up the heat. His newest single, “Break A Sweat,” is officially dropping this Friday, October 24, and it’s poised to be the soundtrack to your hottest weekend.
Released under The AMG Corp and distributed internationally by Universal Music, “Break A Sweat” delivers a sexy, playful blend of pop and rap that is instantly infectious.
A Modern Throwback to the Early 2000s Club Era
Produced by the talented Rich Mello, the track masterfully captures the audacious, magnetic spirit of the early 2000s club scene. Fans of throwback bangers will recognize the bold, carefree energy that dominated the airwaves—think the flirty confidence of artists like Fergie, Nelly Furtado, and Kelis.
However, Alex Di Brita doesn’t just borrow from the past; he forges a sound that is uniquely his own. “Break A Sweat” carves out a distinctly bold and modern aesthetic, perfectly fusing sleek, melodic production with Di Brita’s signature delivery of irresistibly catchy rap hooks.
The Thrill of the Chase: Flirty and Empowering
At its heart, “Break A Sweat” is an anthem for the liberated. The song plays with the classic “cat-and-mouse” allure of desire and the exciting chase of romance, all while giving the power to the one being pursued.
As Di Brita himself explains, the song is about more than just fun: “The world feels so sexually free and liberated right now and I love that. With this song, I wanted to play into that energy – but also remind people that actions speak louder than words. If you want me, you’ve got to show me.”
The message is clear: if you want his affection, you’ll have to break a sweat to win it. This empowering, flirty dynamic makes the track a certified hit for anyone looking for music that’s both seductive and confident.
The New ‘Milkshake’?
With its rich, seductive grooves and unapologetically fun spirit, “Break A Sweat” has been hailed by AMG Chairman Mark Berry as the perfect evolution of the artist’s sound. “If you loved the energy of Boot It Up, Break A Sweat takes it to the next level,” says Berry.
The track’s fusion of playful sensuality with infectious dance beats positions it as Di Brita’s take on a modern-day classic—drawing comparisons to the irresistible, cheeky energy of Kelis’s “Milkshake.” It’s a track guaranteed to get bodies moving on the dance floor.
The Road to the Debut EP
The release of “Break A Sweat” marks a major step forward for the Toronto artist as he solidifies his position as one of Canada’s most compelling new voices in pop and hip hop. This single builds anticipation for his highly awaited debut EP, which is slated for release in Spring 2026.
Keep an eye out for exclusive content! Di Brita, who has already amassed over 10 million views on TikTok, will be rolling out visualizers and new exclusive content across social media platforms alongside the single.
