Renowned techno tandem ARTBAT are back with "Coming Home," a heartfelt collaboration with John Martin that functions as an uplifting message of hope and togetherness for their homeland.

The emotive track, which landed the day after Ukrainian Independence Day, features poignant lyrics and passionate, rhythmic beats. Rooted in the themes of safety, strength and resilience as the Russo-Ukrainian war rages on, "Coming Home" explores the concept of home amid turbulent times.

It's a particularly profound moment for ARTBAT, who tap into their frame of mind by virtue of Martin's soul-stirring vocal performance.

"This Friday we will release one of the most emotional and heartfelt projects we have every [sic] worked on," ARTBAT said on social media. "A release that is very close to our heart and mind."

"Ukraine's strength lies in its people," the prolific duo added. "On this day, let us reflect on our past, cherish our present and work towards building a better future."

ARTBAT have had a typically busy year, with recent performances around the globe in Croatia, Poland, Istanbul, London and many more. They're currently gearing up shows at Zamna Barcelona, Reworks Festival in Greece and David Guetta and MORTEN's "Future Rave" residency in Ibiza.
