Dean Lewis Shares New Single ‘Trust Me Mate’
The track will be featured on Lewis’ forthcoming third album.
Dean Lewis continues to preview his upcoming third album with the release of his new single, “Trust Me Mate.” The song arrives while “In A Perfect World,” his collaboration with Julia Michaels, has surpassed 22 million global streams. The new release also follows Dean’s debut tour of Asia last month.
A vital and visceral hand on the shoulder, “Trust Me Mate” finds Dean drawing upon memories of his loved ones who have supported him through times of hardship, struggle, and self-doubt. Utilizing the words of wisdom and support received from his nearest and dearest in these moments, the result is one of comfort; a guiding hand on the shoulder that is always needed, but rarely received.
“Trust Me Mate” arrives as the second taste of Dean’s forthcoming album and sees him again joining forces with prolific songwriter Jon Hume, who previously worked with Dean on hit singles such as “Be Alright,” “Hurtless,” and “How Do I Say Goodbye?,” amongst others. Joining Jon as co-producer, the pair wrote and recorded the song across Los Angeles and Nashville, pairing their talents to craft a track that is equally powerful and emotionally devastating.
Recalling the composition of the song, Dean Lewis admits that it was a powerful, albeit taxing experience: “Jon and I wrote ‘Be Alright’ and ‘How Do I Say Goodbye’ together, so this was the first time since then that we were in the studio together to write a song.
“We were in Los Angeles, and it was probably the most stressful song we’ve ever had to write. It took us about five days to write it, there were so many choruses and verses and we just spent a lot of time perfecting it. But we’re both really proud of it, because similar to our other songs, it really means something to the both of us, and we think it will really resonate with others who are going through a hard time.”
