Troubles (with Donson PK) - EDYONTHEBEAT
The third single from EDYONTHEBEAT's sophomore album
'im just a producer'
Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland producer Edward Liu (EDYONTHEBEAT) releases "Troubles" with Donson PK, the latest single from his second album im just a producer, out 12 March 2027 via New Zealand distributor DRM.
It reunites Edy with Donson PK, the Auckland vocalist he last worked with on "Coastin'," which reached No. 12 on the Hot 20 Aotearoa Singles chart earlier this year.
About the track
"Troubles" is a soulful, gospel-leaning R&B/Pop record with an unmistakably New Zealand sound. It's built on a conversational structure and sits in the same lane as Six60 and Stan Walker: warm, direct, and made to be sung back. The song is about being there for someone through everything they're carrying, staying present in the hard moments rather than looking for the exit.
Edy wrote it with longtime collaborators HALES and JUGA, and it came together fast. Donson's vocal did the rest, tracked in a single short session.
"It's about sitting through the hard moments instead of running."

im just a producer
"im just a producer" is the second album from EDYONTHEBEAT.
Eleven tracks, each pairing Edy’s production with a different artist & collaborator. Features include Dinah Jane (ex-Fifth Harmony), Janine, Jaedyn Randell, Myshaan, Devin Velez, RISSA, HALES, JUGA, Verity, Donson PK, ELENA and Talia Perese. Mixed by Edward Liu and mastered by John Garcia.
Edy has spent years building international collaborations from Aotearoa without the cover of a label or a frontman - 170M+ streams, close to 500 credits, a 2025 Pacific Music Award for Best Producer, and viral TikTok livestreams that have pulled co-signs from the likes of Timbaland and Charlie Puth.
im just a producer now puts the producer’s name at the top for the first time.
Ten singles roll out across the campaign window from NZ Music Month May 2026 through to the album drop on the 12th March 2027.
