Cheat Codes x Train’s “Bloom” Is Your Electro Pop Summer Hangover
Imagine this: it’s 3:59 AM, you’re still riding that summer vibe, and a track hits that’s got breezy electro pop beats and a soulful hook that’s pure sunshine. That’s “Bloom” by Cheat Codes and Train, a dance pop-commercial crossover that dropped back on August 16, 2024, and still feels like a warm night’s anthem. Electro pop’s been lighting up 2025—think The Weeknd’s retro glow or Charli XCX’s dancefloor bops—and this collab’s got LA’s Cheat Codes teaming up with San Fran’s Train for a feel-good smash. Ready to bloom into this one? Let’s unpack the tune and the multi-platinum, Grammy-winning magic behind it.
The Sound, The Squad, and The Summer Soul
So, what’s “Bloom” all about? It’s a certified summer jam—Cheat Codes bring organic instrumentals and soft basslines that set a laid-back, euphoric tone, while Train’s Pat Monahan drops his iconic, soulful topline that’s instantly recognizable. Think shimmering synths, a bouncy beat that’s pure dance pop, and a commercial polish that screams radio-ready. It’s got that electro pop shimmer—nodding to Cheat Codes’ club roots—blended with Train’s emotive pop-rock flair, making it a track that’s perfect for sunny days or late-night drives with your crew. Cheat Codes call it a “daily reminder to surround yourself with people you love,” and Monahan’s all in, saying it’s “huge” and he’s proud to be on it. Self-released, it’s a bold flex of their indie power.
Cheat Codes—LA’s unstoppable trio—have been hopscotching genres like champs, racking up over 6 billion streams with hits like “No Promises” (feat. Demi Lovato) and “SEX” with Kris Kross Amsterdam. They’ve collabed with everyone from Dolly Parton to Travis Barker, dropping four albums in two years that span pop, dance, alt, and country. Train, the San Fran legends, bring their diamond-selling, Grammy-winning cred—think “Drops of Jupiter” and “Hey, Soul Sister,” with over 10 million albums sold and a knack for timeless hooks. “Bloom” is Train dipping into dance pop waters, while Cheat Codes lean back into their electro roots after a country detour. Together, it’s a full-circle moment—two acts with massive followings finding a sweet spot that’s both nostalgic and 2025 fresh.
Electro pop and dance pop are ruling playlists right now—2025’s all about catchy, feel-good crossover vibes, and “Bloom” fits like a glove. It’s got that TikTok-ready spark and festival-stage energy, bridging Cheat Codes’ club crowd with Train’s radio faithful. Released last August, it’s still blooming strong, proving summer anthems don’t fade fast.
