After a delay in arriving on download and streaming platforms, Gran Error and Antonia have officially released their new single “Levitate” this week, following the debut of its music video on May 11. The track became available across platforms on May 19 via Global Records. It serves as the follow-up to Gran Error’s 2024 single “Miss You”, as well as their subsequent collaboration with The Motans, “Unde mi-am dorit”, while also marking Antonia’s latest release since teaming up with Liviu Teodorescu on “A la long”.

Written by Adelina Stînga (Iraida) alongside Gran Error members Marcel Botezan and Sebastian Barac—who also handle production—“Levitate” emerges as an addictive summer dance track infused with subtle R&B elements and an Eastern European edge. Antonia’s commanding vocal performance brings a fiery energy to the release, shaping it into a strong contender for seasonal playlists. Some fans have noted a World Cup-style hook within the chorus, a comparison that feels fitting, as Gran Error skilfully builds around Antonia’s powerful delivery with a striking pre-chorus and sultry verses that ultimately elevate the track’s memorable topline.
“Levitate” continues as an upbeat love song centred on an intense desire for closeness with a significant other. Its lyrics evoke a sense of “paradise” when in a partner’s presence, capturing both deep emotional attachment and a longing for constant affection, including expressions of love and physical intimacy. Throughout the track, Antonia highlights the “butterflies” brought on by romance, reinforcing themes of infatuation alongside an underlying fear of life without that connection.
The accompanying music video, directed by Ciolpan—who also serves as director of photography—with production handled by Loops Production, delivers a visual style reminiscent of Fifth Harmony’s “Work From Home” featuring Ty Dolla $ign. Set primarily on a construction site, the video follows a group of women dressed in bold, risqué outfits, intercut with scenes of Antonia performing on a Sea-Doo GTX jet ski. The video quickly establishes its setting, with Gran Error appearing at the construction site in the opening seconds, followed closely by Antonia’s introduction on the jet ski.
As the chorus unfolds, Antonia is seen sunbathing alongside a group of women aboard a cabin cruiser, continuing into the second verse. She later transitions to land, wearing a striking gold mesh top, as the setting shifts into night. The final scenes introduce a party atmosphere, with Gran Error positioned behind a DJ deck, bringing the video full circle from daytime visuals to an evening celebration. The video concludes with a montage of earlier moments, ending on a closing shot of Antonia riding off on the jet ski.
