He had similar success in 2019 as a co-writer on "I Can't Get Enough" by Selena Gomez, J Balvin, Benny Blanco, and Tainy. and The Voice with Trainor following the single's release. He also signed with Warner Records in 2019. In September of that year, a standalone single "Life" was released via his own record label.

In 2024, Sabath produced Jade Thirlwall's debut single, Angel Of My Dreams. (Jade says in the opening lyrics of the song: "Hey Mike, let's do something crazy!")

He also co-produced the tracks Headache (with Claude Vause) and Silent Disco (with Raye and Jonah Christian).
