DLZ returns with “Autopilot,” a gripping and emotionally resonant release that showcases his evolution both as a writer and as a performer. The song centers around the unsettling experience of drifting through life without truly being present—functioning by habit, losing touch with purpose, and fighting internally to snap back into clarity.

The hook, shaped with the help of a longtime collaborator, became the track’s defining moment. DLZ then built everything around it: the verses, the pacing, the emotional arc, and the intensity of the overall arrangement. Countless sessions refining melodies, adjusting structure, and capturing the perfect vocal performance helped bring the concept into focus.

The mix adds depth and impact, giving the track a sense of movement and urgency that matches its theme. Every layer—from the subtle background textures to the soaring peaks—supports the emotional push and pull at the heart of the song.

“Autopilot” feels like a breakthrough moment for DLZ, revealing a more mature, intentional, and expressive version of himself.
