[Verse 1: Zach Herron, Jack Avery & Corbyn Besson]
You should be flyin' with me
You could be smilin' with me
You wouldn't be cryin' with me
We could be wildin', we could be free

[Pre-Chorus: Daniel Seavey & Jack Avery]
And if the sky falls, I'll catch it
Just to steal you a star
I'll ride into battle for you
Just so we could

[Chorus: Jonah Marais]
We could be free, we could be free
We could be free, we could be free
We could be free, we could be free
We could be free, we could be free

[Breakdown]

[Verse 2: Zach Herron, Jack Avery & Corbyn Besson]
You're so invitin' with me
Shotgun, you're ridin' with me
Your love collided with me
We could be wildin', we could be free

[Pre-Chorus: Daniel Seavey & Jack Avery]
And if the sky falls, I'll catch it
Just to steal you a star
I'll ride into battle for you
Just so we could

[Chorus: Jonah Marais]
We could be free, we could be free
We could be free, we could be free
We could be free, we could be free
We could be free, we could be free

[Breakdown]

[Pre-Chorus: Jack Avery + Zach Herron]
If the sky falls, I'll catch it
Just to steal you a star
I'll ride into battle for you
Just so we could

[Chorus: Jonah Marais]
We could be free, we could be free
We could be free, we could be free
We could be free, we could be free
We could be free, we could be free

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.
