Background and release

Following the commercial success of their 2018 single "Promises", the duo reunites for a second single after five years.[1] Smith previously worked with Harris as a producer on the song "I'm Not Here to Make Friends", the fourth single of Smith's fourth studio album Gloria.[2]

Starting on 24 June 2023,[3] the track would be previewed during several live performances of Harris' 2023 Ushuaïa tour residency.[4] Based on the performance and their previous collaborations, "Desire" was highly anticipated by fans and publications alike.[5][6] The song was made available for preorder on 3 July 2023, along with the reveal of the single cover.[7] However, a release date would not be disclosed until a few days before release.[8]

On 8 September 2023, a remix by Brazilian DJ Alok was released.[9]

Critical reception

Oliver Tyron of Cultr compared the "trance-inspired production" to "Miracle", Harris' previous single, arguing that the track "takes the duo's past accomplishments to new heights".[10]
