Two Friends’ remix of “Sweet Caroline” adds an infectious, house-driven beat that seamlessly merges with Diamond’s original vocals, giving the classic song a modern, dance-worthy twist while keeping its irresistible sing-along vibe intact. The remix is primed for dance floors and festivals, yet still carries the heart of the song that has made “Sweet Caroline” a global anthem that transcends generations.

 “An official dance remix of “Sweet Caroline” has been a long-standing idea and the new Two Friends version both honors the song’s legacy while infusing it with an electrifying new energy,” said Katie Diamond, Neil Diamond’s manager.

Matt Halper and Eli Sones of Two Friends share,“When we were given the opportunity to officially remix ‘Sweet Caroline,’ we were beyond humbled. It’s one of those iconic songs that everyone just knows. To hear that a musical legend like Neil Diamond himself listened to our take on the record—and loved it—was unreal. We’re so grateful that he trusted us with his masterpiece and allowed us to put our spin on a timeless classic.”

Two Friends gave fans an exclusive preview of the new song during exhilarating recent sets on “Heatwave: The Tour,” their North American headline tour that kicked off earlier this year, which included stops at The Shrine in Los Angeles.
