R3HAB and Mandopop superstar Jolin Tsai team up for their new single "Stars Align," a fusion of R3HAB's signature electronic sound and Jolin's Chinese pop, presented and featured during PUBGM's 3rd-anniversary celebrations. As the mobile version of the PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS game with over 50M daily active users globally, PUBGM reaches a vast global audience, and R3HAB himself played an in-game live set, especially for its players, and participated in a special celebrity showmatch, alongside famous gaming influencers from regions around the world, which you can watch here. "Stars Align" pulls its upbeat melodies and undulating basslines from R3HAB's dynamic style, while Jolin's stunning vocals lend an ethereal and emotive element to the song. It follows R3HAB's recent singles "Distant Memory" with Timmy Trumpet and W&W, "Ringtone" with Fafaq and DNF, "Fendi" with Rakhim & Smokepurpp, as well as a stream of official remixes for the likes of Demi Lovato, Alan Walker, to name a few.
"I'm always looking to push boundaries and explore different genres. Jolin feels the same way and has been a pioneer in Mandopop. It's energizing for me to work with artists who know the sky's the limit, and "Stars Align" is a nod to that shared vision. I'm a long-time player of PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS, so being able to share the song with this community is an honor. I hope this song is a lucky star for all the players, listeners, and fans enjoying it." - R3HAB

PUBG MOBILE is based on PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS, the phenomenon that took the world of interactive entertainment by storm in 2017. Up to 100 players parachute onto a remote island to battle in a winner-takes-all showdown. Players must locate and scavenge their own weapons, vehicles, and supplies, and defeat every player in a visually and tactically rich battleground that forces players into a shrinking play zone.
