New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Multi-Platinum singer, songwriter, and producer Jeremy Zucker joins acclaimed Multi-Platinum singers, songwriters, and producers Lauv and Alexander 23 for the collaboration of the summer, "Cozy," out today on Mercury Records. The new song is released alongside a feel-good music video, directed by Paris Mumpower and inspired by the fan-favorite movie Step Brothers, featuring the three best friends having an epic sleepover. All three artists have been building excitement amongst fans by teasing the track online through their secret Instagram account @thegirlsthegirls522.

On working with Lauv and Alexander 23, Jeremy says, "this collab has been a long time coming, and it was the most fun i've had in a while making music. knowing Ari and Alexander for so many years and having such similar fan bases made this rollout all the more exciting to us. we each had the ability to bring a bit of ourselves into this song and video and created something really special."

Lauv chimes in, "When Jeremy, Alexander and I went into the studio to make a song, I knew we had to create something super fire. I'm so excited you guys can hear it now too. I feel like our fans have waited for us to collaborate for so long, and I truly just love these boys and think they're so talented, so it's an honor to make a song with them."

Alexander 23 shares, "Making 'Cozy' with Jeremy and Ari was one of my favorite times in the studio. We've been talking about making music all together for years, and when it finally happened it was magical. We wrote it pretty fast, and then Ari took a nap while me and Jeremy recorded guitars (legendary)."

"Cozy" follows Jeremy's latest single "this time," which was released to celebrate the five-year anniversary of his beloved EP summer, and global viral hit "comethru." Popdust proclaimed, "'this time' proves [Jeremy Zucker]'s known who he is from the start." 2023 also saw Zucker drop his honest and vulnerable EP is nothing sacred?, which includes fan favorite songs "a dying world…," "OK," and "internet crush."
