"5 Seconds Before Sunrise" is an instrumental composition by Dutch disc jockey and producer Tiësto under his alias VER:WEST. It was released on 17 July 2020 in the Netherlands.

Background and release

The composition was premiered at Tomorrowland 2020 during an exclusive VER:WEST one hour set.^[2] The title is a reference to his previous 2007 composition, "Ten Seconds Before Sunrise". Tiësto declared about the song : "I would describe VER:WEST as melodic house music. It’s a lot deeper and more chill and a very different energy than Tiësto. I got this opportunity from Tomorrowland to express a different side of me, which I've never done before. I know they are going to put amazing visuals around it and make it look really different and cool. Expect the unexpected, it's going to look amazing!"^[3]
