[Verse: Corbyn Besson]
There's a light when you walk in the room
There's excitement flowin' on you
Out of sight when and the moment is soaking up the air

[Pre-Chorus: Daniel Seavey]
Ooh, we're alive here give it all, let it go
We've arrived here and we're shining like gold
In the night here and the moment is soaking up the air

[Chorus: Zach Herron]
In the air of the night
Air of the night
In the air of the night
Air of the night
If you feel it if you wanna dance you gotta smooth step

[Post-Chorus: Zach Herron]
In the air of the night
In the air of the night
In the air of the night

[Verse: Jonah Marais]
There's a light when you walk in the room
There's excitement flowin' on you
Out of sight when and the moment is soaking up the air

[Pre-Chorus: Jack Avery]
Ooh, we're all alive here give it all, let it go
We've arrived here and we're shining like gold
In the night here and the moment is soaking up the air

[Chorus: Zach Herron]
In the air of the night
Air of the night
In the air of the night
Air of the night
If you feel it if you wanna dance you gotta smooth step

[Post-Chorus: Zach Herron]
In the air of the night
In the air of the night
In the air of the night
In the air of the night
In the air of the night
In the air of the night

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.
