Josh Baker & Poppy Baskcomb "My Place": From ID to Ibiza
Josh Baker and Poppy Baskcomb's "My Place" turns a straightforward after-party invitation into a hook built for instant recognition. Its lyrics move from public attraction to a more private encounter, while that same simplicity helped the unreleased track become recognizable across clubs and festival sets.
What is "My Place" about?
"My Place" captures the moment when attraction on a night out becomes a decision to leave together.
Poppy Baskcomb's vocal makes that move explicit:
"Back to my place"
The important shift is from the public setting of the party to something private. The song isn't about wondering whether there is attraction. That part is already settled. The question is whether the connection continues once the night moves away from everyone else.
The chorus then adds:
"Want to get to know you one on one"
That phrase slightly changes the tone of the invitation. Going "back to my place" clearly carries sexual tension, but "one on one" also emphasizes privacy and undivided attention. The narrator doesn't promise romance or a relationship. She simply wants the connection to continue without the party, the crowd or their friends around them.
That makes the title more useful than it first appears. "My Place" isn't just a destination. It marks the point where a shared night out becomes a private encounter.
The song deliberately stops there. We don't learn what happens afterwards, and there is no larger relationship story to resolve. For a House track built around an instantly repeatable hook, that lack of detail is part of the design: the lyric captures one recognizable decision rather than trying to tell an entire love story.
Why fans knew "My Place" before it had a name
The more interesting story starts before the official release.
"My Place" had already been circulating through Josh Baker's DJ sets before listeners could officially stream it. In electronic music, an unreleased track like this is often called an "ID": music played in sets before its title, release details or sometimes even its creator are publicly confirmed.
That makes an ID different from the usual pop rollout. People can hear the record repeatedly in clubs and festival sets before they know what to search for, and "My Place" travelled unusually far this way, road-tested at sets including Coachella, EDC, Miami Music Week, Factory Town, Parklife and Amnesia's opening party in Ibiza.
Baker described that build-up himself: "'My Place' has been one of those records that seemed to connect on the dancefloor from the moment I started playing it. There seems to be real anticipation on the record, people having been singing it back for months now."
By the time "My Place" arrived, parts of the dancefloor already knew it before it had an official name to search for.
Josh Baker wanted a "summer banger"
The track's early dancefloor success also matched what Baker had wanted from the beginning.
In an interview with Official Charts, he said "My Place" started around January 2026. His goal was straightforward: he wanted a "summer banger."
Baker was also specifically interested in working with Baskcomb after hearing her on Sonny Fodera's "Think About Us." Speaking about their session together, he said: "I loved working with Poppy, it was one of those sessions where it all came together, we knew we had something within a couple of hours."
Baker didn't want to choose between an underground club record and a more accessible vocal House single. He told Official Charts that the track could still work on dancefloors while reaching more commercial spaces too.
That is where Baskcomb becomes especially important: Baker supplies the club foundation, while her topline gives the track something immediate enough to travel beyond it.
That also makes the simplicity of Baskcomb's hook easier to understand. "Back to my place" doesn't need decoding. It needs to register immediately.
Why Poppy Baskcomb's vocal matters
Baker's production keeps the track rooted in the club, with a rolling low-end groove, crisp percussion and piano-led House production underneath Baskcomb's topline.
But the vocal gives those elements something crowds can immediately hold onto. Baskcomb doesn't ask listeners to follow a complicated verse-by-verse story. Instead, she turns an ordinary after-party suggestion into the part of the record people can anticipate and sing back.
Baskcomb was also a logical choice for that role. Her dance collaborations include artists such as Tiësto, Oliver Heldens and Sonny Fodera. On "My Place", that experience helps bridge two functions: Baker gets a record DJs can use, while the audience gets a vocal it can remember.
Why 128 BPM and the Original Mix matter
The Original Mix of "My Place" runs at 128 BPM, lasts 5:33 and is listed in E minor.
Those details matter for a House record. At 128 BPM, "My Place" sits naturally inside contemporary sets, while the longer Original Mix gives DJs more room to work it into a continuous mix. That club function also helps explain how the track could build its identity through Baker's sets before becoming a conventional single.
There are effectively two ways to encounter "My Place": as a catchy vocal House track outside the club, or as a record designed to function inside one.
Its crossover doesn't require giving up the second role.
Why the Ibiza timing matters
"My Place" was officially released on July 3, 2026 through Baker's Dozen, in partnership with Three Six Zero Recordings.
That put its release directly alongside one of the biggest steps in Baker's career: the launch of his first You&Me residency at Amnesia Ibiza. The residency began on July 2, with Baker and his frequent collaborators Prospa playing back-to-back. Demand for the opening night was high enough that Amnesia expanded the event into a second room.
That context gives the release particularly fitting timing. A record that had spent months building recognition through Baker's DJ sets became officially available just as he began a residency built around his own club brand.
The release wasn't the beginning of the "My Place" story. It was the point when everyone outside those dancefloors could finally catch up.
