Monte Carlo Lyrics – DJ Snake | from “Nomad”

DJ Snake is revving up the engines for Nomad, his boldest album yet, hitting shelves November 7, 2025, through Interscope Records and Monte Carlo kicks it off with a pulse-pounding rush that feels like midnight on the Riviera, all neon lights and endless drive.

If you’ve been spinning Snake’s tracks since his early days remixing for the clubs of Paris, you know he’s always chased that thrill of the unknown. Nomad marks his deepest dive into a wandering spirit, pulling from his French roots and global tours to craft a sound that’s equal parts euphoric house and gritty trap.

Monte Carlo, the lead single, embodies that perfectly: it’s a sleek electronic banger with shimmering synths that evoke high-stakes glamour, layered over a beat that drops like a roulette wheel spinning out of control. Thematically, it’s about chasing highs in the fast lane—fleeting connections, the blur of city lights, and that addictive pull of risk. Snake co-produced it with a nod to his Carte Blanche era, but with fresher edges, enlisting rising vocalist Yseult for those haunting, breathy hooks that cut through the bass like a sports car slicing fog.

This isn’t just a standalone drop; Monte Carlo anchors Nomad, a 17-track odyssey that snakes through cultures and moods. The album’s concept revolves around the nomad life, mirroring Snake’s own path from bedroom producer to festival headliner.

At this stage in his career, Snake’s hitting a sweet spot. Fresh off sold-out Coachella sets and that viral remix of a Billie Eilish cut last summer, he’s shedding the one-hit wonder tag for something more personal. Nomad feels like evolution: less about crowd-pleasing anthems, more about stories from the road that stick with you long after the drop fades. It’s Snake saying he’s not just the guy behind Turn Down for What anymore—he’s building worlds.
