"Science" is a song by Canadian electronic music producer Deadmau5 and singer-songwriter producer Stevie Appleton, released as a single on February 2, 2026. It is the second single for Deadmau5' upcoming 2026 album, and it is an EDM song featuring vocals by Stevie Appleton.
Background and musical content
Regarding the creation of the song, Zimmerman said that “Steve sent the vocal through, thought it was neat so I made a track with it." Appleton revealed that “There was a lot more in the song before I cut it down to just four lines".[1] The song is nearly 10 minutes long, and is compositionally similar to other Deadmau5 songs like The Veldt and I Remember, featuring vocals and long buildups.[2]
Reception
Kelsey Adams of CBC described the track as a "pristine and euphoric [...] emotional climax of a night out with someone you love", also noting that the lyric “science” sometimes sounds like “sadness" in the track, which she stated "obfuscates [Appleton's] true meaning even more".[3]
