Background and release


Douwma wrote the song in mid-2010 and worked with several vocalists on demo versions of the song.[1] During many DJ sets, including the Ultra Music Festival in 2011, he played a version of the song, featuring a vocoded vocal sample. The demo versions of the song also feature a variation in the melody that was cut out of the final version.[2][3] Eventually, Alice Gold recorded the version that Douwma would go on to release as a single.

A music video to accompany the release of "Out the Blue" was first released onto YouTube on 2 April 2012 at a total length of three minutes and twenty-eight seconds.[4]
