Australian electronic music heavyweights PNAU have officially returned to the global stage with the release of their latest single, “Tu Corazón (Your Heart)”, a high-energy collaboration featuring the powerhouse Mexican rock trio The Warning. The track, which blends pulsating electronic beats with the raw energy of rock, represents a cross-continental artistic effort years in the making.
Released on April 8, 2026, the track serves as a significant milestone for both acts. For the Villarreal Vélez sisters of The Warning, “Tu Corazón (Your Heart)” marks their first-ever bilingual release, combining English and Spanish lyrics in a single composition according to reports from Posta México. The collaboration is described as a “booming jam” that fuses punk sensibilities with ecstatic dance music.
The partnership between the two groups is not a recent development but rather the result of a long-percolating creative relationship. PNAU’s Nick Littlemore first encountered The Warning more than a decade ago although filming with his other project, Empire of the Sun, in Mexico. At the time, the sisters—Daniela (guitar, vocals, piano), Paulina (drums, vocals, piano), and Alejandra (bass guitar, backing vocals, piano)—were emerging talents dreaming of international success.
Following an initial meeting, the siblings traveled to PNAU’s studio in downtown Los Angeles for recording sessions. This collaborative process was further catalyzed by a promotional campaign with the brand Jumex, which had previously teased fragments of the song in commercials before the full release and official music video arrived on April 8 as confirmed by Posta México.
A Fusion of Monterrey Rock and Sydney Electronic
Thematically, “Tu Corazón (Your Heart)” is centered on the concept of opening one’s heart to the beauty of the world and the importance of community. Nick Littlemore describes the track as a “flash of ecstatic dance” originating from the “sister city of Monterrey,” challenging listeners to resist the urge to move to its rhythm.
The Warning has echoed this sentiment, noting that the recording process was nostalgic, allowing them to connect with their “past selves” while creating something unique. The final product is a three-minute piece of art that reflects a sonic evolution for the Mexican trio, pushing them outside their traditional rock comfort zone.
To complement the audio release, an official music video was produced and shot on location in Monterrey, Mexico.
PNAU’s Global Trajectory and Evolution
PNAU’s journey from Sydney’s rave scene to international chart-topping success is well-documented. The group achieved a major breakthrough in 2012 through a collaboration with Elton John on the remix album Good Morning to the Night, which secured the No. 1 spot on the Official U.K. Albums Chart. This partnership was repeated in 2021 with the global hit “Cold Heart,” featuring Dua Lipa.
The current iteration of PNAU features the original lineup. While Sam Littlemore joined the group in 2016 and concluded his tenure at the complete of the 2024 album cycle for Hyperbolic, he is credited with contributing to the production of “Tu Corazón (Your Heart),” as the song was recorded prior to his departure.
Beyond their perform with The Warning, PNAU has maintained a prolific streak of collaborations, including tracks with the Italian trio MEDUZA on “Rollin” and Kungs on “Light Me Up,” as well as remixes for artists such as Coldplay, Tame Impala, Diana Ross, and Sophie Ellis-Bextor via Billboard.
The Warning’s Ascent to International Prominence
The Warning is currently experiencing a period of rapid growth. The release of “Tu Corazón (Your Heart)” follows their single “Kerosene” and a series of high-profile performances at Lollapalooza festivals across Chile, Argentina, and Brazil. The band recently achieved a landmark milestone with a record-breaking homecoming concert in Monterrey, performing for a crowd of 50,000 people.
Looking ahead, the sister act is scheduled to support YUNGBLUD on the IDOLS World Tour, with dates planned across the United Kingdom and the United States later this year.
Upcoming Tour Dates and Live Appearances
