[Verse 1: Jonah Marais & Jack Avery]
When you dream of free
Then that's where I'll be
You know I'm not too far
You should wait on me
You can have your way
Like the sun has day
Cast your fears away
You should reach for me

[Refrain: Corbyn Besson]
Reach out for me, reach out for me, reach out for me
Reach out for me, reach out for me, reach out for me, reach out for me
Reach out for me, reach out for me, reach out for me

[Chorus: Zach Herron & Corbyn Besson]
Don't worry I'm on my way
Reach out for me, reach out for me, reach out for me
Don't worry I'm on my way
Reach out for me, reach out for me, reach out for me
Just like a shooting star I'll crash into your galaxy
Don't worry I'm on my way
Reach out for me, reach out for me, reach out for me

[Breakdown]

[Verse 2: Corbyn Besson & Daniel Seavey]
Bet you didn't know
I can see your soul
And it's beautiful
You're so colorful
I can see you clear
You are everywhere
You live in my mind
Wanna keep you there

[Refrain: Corbyn Besson]
Reach out for me, reach out for me, reach out for me
Reach out for me, reach out for me, reach out for me, reach out for me
Reach out for me, reach out for me, reach out for me

[Chorus: Zach Herron & Corbyn Besson]
Don't worry I'm on my way
Reach out for me, reach out for me, reach out for me
Don't worry I'm on my way
Reach out for me, reach out for me, reach out for me
Just like a shooting star I'll crash into your galaxy
Don't worry I'm on my way
Reach out for me, reach out for me, reach out for me

[Breakdown]

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.
