"Midnight Ride" is a song by South African country singer Orville Peck, Australian singer-songwriter Kylie Minogue and American producer Diplo. It was released on 7 June 2024 by Warner Records as a single from Peck's duet album Stampede.^[2] It is also included on Minogue's seventeenth studio album Tension II (2024).^[3] The song is nominated for The Crossover Song of 2024 at the People's Choice Country Awards

Background and release

On 1 June 2024, Minogue quoted a tweet^[4] from Peck, posted 7 months prior, which sparked rumours of a possible collaboration between the two. Minogue previously experimented with country music on her 2018 album Golden which was recorded in Nashville. On 2 June during Minogue's headlining show at Outloud Music Festival at WeHo Pride, she invited Peck and Diplo on stage to perform "Midnight Ride" for the first time.

When introducing the song to the audience, Peck dubbed "Midnight Ride" a "disco-country song", blending elements of both himself and Minogue.^[1] Following the performance, pre-save links went live, and the song was released on 7 June 2024.
