Originally co-written in 2023 alongside Grammy-winning songwriter and producer Damon Sharpe, the track remained unreleased until now, returning with renewed energy and a fresh remix from acclaimed production duo Scotch and Soda.

Sharpe, whose songwriting credits include Jennifer Lopez’s “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” and Ariana Grande’s “Pink Champagne,” praised Ashley Paul’s artistry and creative spirit throughout the process.

“Working with Ashley is effortless,” Sharpe shares. “She has endless creativity and talent.”

Blending vintage glamour with sleek modern dance production, “Ribbons” channels theatrical elegance through a contemporary nu-disco lens. Inspired by the timeless Rodgers and Hammerstein classic “I’ll Be Wearing Ribbons Down My Back This Summer,” the single reimagines nostalgic romance with shimmering synths, playful sensuality, and polished dance-floor energy.

Ashley Paul drew additional inspiration from the iconic Hello Dolly character Irene Molloy, the sophisticated New York hat shop owner famously surrounded by flowing silks and colorful ribbons in one of the musical’s most memorable visual moments.

The result is a cinematic dance-pop anthem filled with feminine confidence, dreamy escapism, and high-fashion energy. Sonically reminiscent of artists like Dua Lipa, “Ribbons” captures the fantasy of a modern woman envisioning the possibilities of love, glamour, and freedom as ribbons float effortlessly through the air around her.

Known for blending timeless inspiration with contemporary electronic production, Ashley Paul continues to evolve her signature sound while expanding her global dance-pop momentum. The release follows growing international attention surrounding her chart success, radio support, and streaming growth across the EDM and pop landscape.

Backed by Dauman Music alongside global distribution through Virgin Music Group and Downtown Music, “Ribbons” transforms what was once a hidden vault favorite into one of Ashley Paul’s most exciting releases to date.

Two additional remixes are also scheduled to arrive later this month, including an underground garage-inspired interpretation and a high-energy club mix that stays true to Ashley Paul’s signature dance-floor sound.

“Ribbons” releases worldwide May 8 on all major streaming platforms.
