BUNT. continues the road toward his debut album Levi Did It with “Nothing Lasts Forever”, a new collaboration with RØAM that turns one of life’s simplest truths into a warm, uplifting electronic record built for moments you know you cannot keep forever.
There is something almost instinctive about the way BUNT. approaches emotion.
His music rarely needs to become overly dramatic to make its point. Instead, it usually starts with a feeling everyone already understands — nostalgia, freedom, friendship, the strange happiness of knowing a moment is temporary — and then builds an electronic world around it.
On “Nothing Lasts Forever”, his latest collaboration with RØAM, that idea is right there in the title, nothing lasts forever.
It could easily be the starting point for a sad record, but BUNT. takes it somewhere much more optimistic. Rather than dwelling on what eventually disappears, the track seems more interested in what happens while that moment is still alive, and that is where the song really works.

Nothing Lasts Forever, So Make the Moment Count
From the opening moments, “Nothing Lasts Forever” carries the kind of warm, open-air energy that has become increasingly associated with BUNT.’s sound.
The production feels light and immediate, driven by bright melodic elements and a rhythm that keeps the track moving without pushing too hard. There is energy here, but it never becomes aggressive. Instead, the song has that sense of forward motion that makes you imagine a festival crowd at sunset, arms in the air, everyone singing along to a line that means something slightly different to each person.
That image might sound familiar in dance music, but BUNT. has always been good at making familiar emotions feel sincere.
The song’s central idea is simple: the best moments do not last, and perhaps that is exactly why they matter.
Rather than turning that thought into something melancholic, BUNT. and RØAM frame it as a reason to enjoy the present more intensely. The track feels nostalgic even while it is still happening, almost as though it already knows it will one day become a memory.
That combination of happiness and slight sadness underneath is probably the strongest part of the record, it is easy to make something euphoric, it is harder to make euphoria feel human.
BUNT.’s Emotional Side Keeps Getting Stronger
Over the last few years, BUNT. has gradually developed a sound that sits somewhere between electronic pop, melodic dance music and the emotional side of festival culture.
There are obvious hooks, accessible structures and plenty of moments designed to work in front of large crowds, but the production often keeps enough warmth to avoid sounding manufactured purely for impact.
“Nothing Lasts Forever” continues that direction.
The arrangement does not try to surprise you every thirty seconds. There is no unnecessary production trick added simply to make the track feel more complicated. Instead, the song allows the melody and the central message to carry most of the weight, that restraint is important.
A track about enjoying fleeting moments would lose much of its meaning if it were buried under endless drops, transitions and oversized production.
Here, everything feels relatively clean, the vocals sit naturally inside the instrumental, the melodic elements have space to breathe and the energy rises without ever becoming exhausting.
It is the kind of song that works immediately on first listen, but there is also enough emotional detail to make it easy to return to.
A Track That Feels Made for the Crowd
BUNT.’s music has increasingly become inseparable from his live identity.
Over the past few years, his shows have grown dramatically in both scale and ambition, with appearances at major festivals around the world and an audience that now follows him far beyond the electronic scene where he first started building momentum.
That context matters when listening to “Nothing Lasts Forever”, because the song sounds like it was written with the live experience in mind.
Not necessarily because it contains a huge festival drop, but because of the feeling of collective release running through it.
You can already imagine the track working late in a set, when the crowd has settled into the rhythm of the night and the emotional records start to hit harder than the purely energetic ones, BUNT. has always understood that some of the strongest moments at electronic shows are not necessarily the loudest.
Sometimes it is the track where everyone suddenly sings together, sometimes it is a melody that briefly changes the atmosphere, sometimes it is the moment when you look around and realise that the night is almost over, “Nothing Lasts Forever” seems built for exactly that kind of space.
From Levi Don’t Do It to Levi Did It
The track also arrives at an important moment in BUNT.’s career.
His upcoming debut album, Levi Did It, is due on October 23 and follows the 2024 EP Levi Don’t Do It. The shift between those two titles says a lot without needing much explanation.
The earlier title captured uncertainty, The new one sounds like the answer.
BUNT., whose real name is Levi Wijk, has spoken openly about the years spent trying to make music work and about reaching a point where he seriously questioned whether continuing made sense.
That makes Levi Did It feel less like a clever album title and more like a summary of everything that happened afterward, Because what followed was a breakthrough that changed the scale of his career entirely.
Streaming numbers exploded, international touring accelerated and festival bookings began placing BUNT. in front of audiences he could only have imagined a few years earlier.
In that context, “Nothing Lasts Forever” feels especially fitting, The song is about temporary moments, but it comes from an artist currently living through one of the biggest transitions of his career.
Success changes quickly, Crowds get bigger, Tours become longer, one chapter ends and another begins before there is even enough time to understand what just happened, Instead of turning that experience into a victory lap, BUNT. seems more interested in appreciating it while it lasts.
BUNT.’s Breakthrough Was Years in the Making
To anyone who only discovered BUNT. after “Clouds”, the rise may have looked almost immediate, it was not.
Before the viral momentum, huge streaming numbers and major festival appearances, there were years of releases, experimentation and uncertainty, “Clouds” became the track that dramatically accelerated everything, but it worked because there was already an artist behind it who had spent years refining his instincts.
Since then, BUNT.’s name has continued to grow through collaborations, international touring and an increasingly recognisable live identity, particularly through his IN THE ROUND concept, which brings the audience physically closer to the performance and puts the communal side of electronic music at the centre of the experience.
That idea of community also connects naturally with “Nothing Lasts Forever”, the song does not feel like it belongs to one person.
It feels designed to be shared, there is something almost photographic about it: a snapshot of a night, a summer, a friendship or a specific moment that will eventually disappear but remains meaningful because it happened at all.
That sense of memory has always been one of dance music’s strongest emotional tools, BUNT. simply makes it explicit.
Victor Bendo Selections: The Verdict
“Nothing Lasts Forever” does not try to reinvent BUNT.’s sound, and it does not need to.
What it does instead is refine the qualities that have made his recent music connect so strongly: melody, warmth, emotional clarity and the ability to translate personal feelings into something that works inside a crowd.
The track is euphoric without becoming empty, sentimental without becoming overly dramatic and polished without losing its sense of spontaneity, most importantly, it understands its own message.
Nothing lasts forever, so there is no point spending every moment worrying about when it will end, sometimes the best thing you can do is simply be there while it is happening.
That idea becomes even more meaningful when placed beside BUNT.’s own story. A few years ago, he was still questioning how much longer he could continue pursuing music. Now, with a debut album on the way, major international shows behind him and a global audience continuing to grow, the title Levi Did It feels increasingly appropriate.
“Nothing Lasts Forever” may be about impermanence, but at this point in BUNT.’s career, it sounds less like a warning and more like a celebration, a reminder to enjoy the moment before it becomes a memory, and for BUNT., this particular moment feels worth holding onto.
