“17” by MK is a standout modern house anthem that beautifully merges emotional nostalgia with the infectious groove he’s known for.

Built on MK’s signature formula of bright, rhythmic piano stabs, warm synth layers, and a pulsing bassline, the track delivers a polished yet soulful sound that’s instantly recognizable on any dancefloor. At its core is Carla Monroe’s uncredited but unforgettable vocal performance, filled with yearning and clarity as she sings about wanting to reclaim the simplicity, loyalty, and intensity of a love that felt effortless at seventeen. Her delivery gives the song its heart—there’s a bittersweet ache in her voice that contrasts with the upbeat, club-ready production, creating a dynamic tension between melancholy and euphoria. This emotional duality is part of what makes “17” so powerful: it captures a universal feeling of looking back on youth with equal parts fondness and longing, while still delivering a hook strong enough to command festival stages.

MK’s production is clean, confident, and impeccably arranged, allowing the track to feel both timeless and distinctly modern. It’s the kind of song that hits just as hard on headphones during a reflective moment as it does blasted from speakers in a crowded club, solidifying its status as one of MK’s most memorable and enduring releases.
