In 2012, Garritsen signed a professional contract with Spinnin' Records until terminating his contract in 2015 and cutting ties with his management, MusicalAllStars on August 25, 2015. In a subsequent lawsuit against the record company, Garritsen won back his rights to his songs released under the label between 2012 and 2015, winning his case in a 2017 court ruling. Earlier in 2016, Martijn created his label imprint 'STMPD RCRDS', which was a tribute to his father's role in the stamp business.
On July 26, 2016, Garritsen signed a 'worldwide' contract with Sony Music International. Explaining that, "their forward thinking approach to streaming and incredible roster of talented artists combined with their passion and understanding for my vision of the future of my music made this a no brainer."

Martin Garrix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why would we wait
Why would we wait
And every road could be unsafe
But we'll be okay
We'll make it
We'll make it
Say where to go
And I know that I won't slow down
It's just who we are
And we will do anything we dream about
How about now?
How about now?
How about now?
How about now?
The lyrics of Martin Garrix and MOTi's song Virus communicates that life is fragile and every moment could be someone's last.

However, the journey towards those dreams is not without danger, and every road could be risky, but they are confident in their abilities to navigate through the challenges and come out on the other side. The phrase "It's just who we are" is a reminder that they are not afraid of risk-taking and adventure-seeking; it is their nature. The recurring phrase of "How about now?" emphasizes their eagerness to pursue their dreams and take action now without any further delays.
