Joshua of Seventeen Offers New Take on SLANDER’s Hit “Love Is Gone”
Joshua from Seventeen just dropped something special for fans — a remake of SLANDER’s emotional hit “Love Is Gone,” originally sung by Dylan Matthew. His version came out on July 25 at 1 PM KST across major streaming platforms, bringing a new layer of feeling to a song that’s already touched millions.
This wasn’t just a random cover either. The whole project kicked off when SLANDER reached out directly to Joshua, saying they thought his voice would be perfect for adding emotional depth to the track. Turns out, they were the ones who suggested the idea in the first place.
The original “Love Is Gone” has already made a huge impact. With over 600 million streams on Spotify, it’s one of SLANDER’s most recognized tracks. It’s a ballad about heartbreak — and Joshua leaned fully into that mood.
For his version, Joshua stripped things down with a simple arrangement and focused on keeping the vibe soft and moody. His signature smooth vocals and gentle delivery carry the song in a way that feels completely his own.
“We’re thrilled to release this new version of the song with Joshua. He preserved the emotions of the original while breathing new life into it with his unique tone.”

“I’m happy to bring a song I’ve personally loved to my fans. I’ll continue to showcase my own musical color through a variety of genres.”
