"Undeniable" is a song by Norwegian record producer and DJ Kygo, featuring a guest appearance from American rock band X Ambassadors. It was released on 15 October 2021 through RCA Records.[2] Kygo wrote the song with Ethan Snoreck, Jacob Kasher, Nick Long, Patrick Martin and X Ambassadors' lead vocalist Sam Harris, and produced it with Petey Martin. It also marks the first cooperation between both sides.[3]

Background[edit]

In a press release, X Ambassadors stated:[4]

I've always had an affinity for big-ass love songs but don't often end up writing them. This one came together so organically and quickly—it was such a treat to write it with Kash, Nick, Whethan, and Kyrre. I honestly couldn’t be more excited to sing it at all my friend’s weddings.
