Cake By The Ocean

"Cake By The Ocean" is the debut single by American band DNCE, released through Republic Records in 2015 and later included on their self-titled studio album in 2016. Written by Joe Jonas, Justin Tranter, and producers Mattman & Robin, the track blends funk-driven rhythms with a pop-rock energy that translates well to electric guitar. Its rhythmic chord patterns and punchy riff structure make it an engaging piece for intermediate players looking to explore groove-based playing.

  • The song was co-written by Joe Jonas, a core member of DNCE, alongside professional songwriter Justin Tranter.
  • "Cake By The Ocean" served as DNCE's debut single before appearing on their full-length self-titled studio album in 2016.
  • Producers Mattman & Robin shaped the track's funk-pop sound, which drives its distinctive rhythmic guitar feel.

JinJoo Lee's primary choice for DNCE's crisp funk strumming, the Stratocaster's bright single-coil tone delivers the snappy attack needed for muted ghost strokes and punchy chord stabs that define their sound.

The Twin Reverb's massive headroom and natural sparkle let JinJoo keep her gain low for dynamic 16th-note strumming while built-in spring reverb adds subtle width without sacrificing the tight funk pocket.
