[Verse 1: Daniel Seavey]
Throw it back to you, girl
Go ahead and make your move
You a star in your own world
And the sky opens up for you

[Refrain: Jack Avery]
Mama said that they come through and go
She's got everything she needs to know to come back for you
She'll come back to you

[Pre-Chorus: Jonah Marais]
Gone with the wind, girl
Cut through the clouds, don't you dare me, I will
Nobody wins, yeah
You'll end up, right back here, right back here, right back

[Chorus: Zach Herron]
I let you go, I set you free
Like boomerang, you come back to me
I let you go, I set you free
Like boomerang, you come back to me

[Post-Chorus]
Like boomerang, you come back to me
Like boomerang, you come back to me

[Verse 2: Daniel Seavey]
Come back to me, girl
You don't gotta change your mind
Be what you would be, girl
Everybody needs some time

[Refrain: Jack Avery]
Mama said that they come through and go
She's got everything she needs to know to come back for you
She'll come back to you

[Pre-Chorus: Corbyn Besson]
Gone with the wind, girl
Cut through the clouds, don't you dare me, I will
Nobody wins, yeah
You'll end up, right back here, right back here, right back

[Chorus: Zach Herron]
I let you go, I set you free
Like boomerang, you come back to me
I let you go, I set you free
Like boomerang, you come back to me

[Post-Chorus]
Like boomerang, you come back to me
Like boomerang, you come back to me

Why Don’t We is a boy band consisting of Daniel Seavey, Zach Herron, Corbyn Besson, Jonah Marais and Jack Avery. The members individually gained recognition over social media by posting covers and doing live streams. Seavey was also a contestant on season 14 of the American TV show American Idol. The group started activities on September 27, 2016, with the release of their two singles “Taking You” and “Nobody Gotta Know” and EP Only The Beginning, shortly thereafter.

The band gained a lot of recognition from their 2017 single “Something Different”. They went on to release four EPs in that year, notably gaining recognition for their collaboration with YouTuber Logan Paul, who also directed several of their music videos at this time.

Their first release in 2018, the Ed Sheeran-written “Trust Fund Baby,” ranked #2 on the American iTunes Chart, and was the band’s highest achievement to that date. They released three singles in June, July and August of that year preceding their first full length album on August 31, 2018. “Talk”, the second pre-release, peaked at #1 on the American iTunes Chart, surpassing their personal record just five months later.
