Oliver Heldens Shares New Era with “Ruins” Featuring Julia Church

“Ruins” is a bold, heartfelt single from Heldens and Church, released via Ministry of Sound.
A new chapter begins for Oliver Heldens with the release of “Ruins,” featuring Julia Church, via Ministry of Sound. The track blends the Dutch producer’s expansive house sound with Church’s intimate vocal delivery for a poignant yet club-ready result.
Written by Julia Church, Ollie Green, and Franklin, the track centers on themes of transformation and emotional release. Heldens’ production brings the drama, while Church delivers lyrical clarity with sincerity.
“When I got the first demo version of this song from the brilliant Julia Church, it hit me right away… while we still kept such a timeless feel to it,” said Heldens.
With a decade-long career that includes 4B+ streams, Heldens continues to reimagine what dance music can be. His tour schedule includes major festivals such as Tomorrowland, Ilesoniq, and Creamfields.
Church, a seasoned collaborator with names like Sub Focus, Kaskade, and Lane 8, brings personal storytelling to the forefront on “Ruins,” adding emotional gravity to the dance genre.
