Not only is today my birthday, it’s the official release day for “DUMB” one of my favorite singles from the upcoming @_beginners album!!!

My ONLY bday wish is that you take it for a lil stream and maybe even add it to a playlist or pass it along if u dare. (link in bio)

I know it took what seemed like forever to get it out where y’all could stream it finally. Thank you for not giving up on me and continuing to entertain my ridiculous content 🫠.

I want to thank my brilliant co-writers on this @jessethomas_____ , @poseytunes and @mrmatiasmora who also produced it. You guys took this song to a whole new level and I’m so so grateful to have you as collaborators and friends. 🥹

I also want to thank @j.sinclair for killing the mix on this per usual and @punchingdolphinsofficial for the fire mastering per usual.

Thank you also to @_ofonekind and @nieves_simone for the dope artwork as always.

Much love! ❤️‍🔥 by @sambarbera

I’ve made a lot of songs w my good friend @buntmusic over the years. Traveling back and forth from Germany to LA experimenting with sound and songwriting and having the time of our lives doing it. Of all our songs I gotta say “TE TE TE” is at the top of my list. It’s so unbelievably rad getting to see it brought to life in the new Chandron Spitz ad!! Another @buntmusic x @_beginners collab for the books! 🥰

Big shoutout to @mrbongoworldwide and @jennyowenyoungs for helping make this incredible record!! by @sambarbera

WOW. 🤯 As u may have noticed, I’ve been on tour all year with my other band @laexes which has delayed me releasing new beginners material. And tbh I wasn’t sure how much of an appetite there would be for more music and tours once I came back!

Seeing how many of you are out there listening, even on a year without many new releases, has truly given me a renewed sense of excitement. I’m truly blown away and beyond grateful. 🥰

I have so much more coming top of 2026 that I cant wait to share w u!! 💘 by @sambarbera
