[Verse 1: Corbyn Besson]
Tell me your name, where are you from, how do you do?
What are you like, tell me your type, can we be cool?

[Refrain: Daniel Seavey]
Everything about you, I want to know
Everything I gotta do, I want to do

[Pre-Chorus: Jack Avery]
I'm just being honest, I'm not here to waste your time
You can hold my promise, I don't give it away too often

[Chorus: All & Zach Herron]
I'm listening, I'm listening, tell me a way, tell me a way
I'm listening, what is it, tell me a way, tell me a way
What do I gotta do to be down with you (with you, with you)
What do I gotta do to be down with you (with you, with you)

[Post-Chorus: Jack Avery]
List-, huh, I'm list- huh, list-, huh, I'm list- huh
Tell me a way, tell me a way
List-, huh, I'm list- huh, list-, huh, I'm list- huh
Tell me a way, tell me a way
List-, huh, I'm list- huh, list-, huh, I'm list- huh
Tell me a way, tell me a way
List-, huh, I'm list- huh
Tell me a way, tell me a way

[Verse 2: Jonah Marais]
Show me a sign, how do I find my way to you?
Show me I'm right, nothing to hide when I'm with you

[Refrain: Daniel Seavey + Corbyn Besson]
Everything about you, I want to know
Everything I gotta do, I want to do

[Pre-Chorus: Jack Avery]
I'm just being honest, I'm not here to waste your time
You can hold my promise, I don't give it away too often

[Chorus: All & Zach Herron]
I'm listening, I'm listening, tell me a way, tell me a way
I'm listening, what is it, tell me a way, tell me a way
What do I gotta do to be down with you (with you, with you)
What do I gotta do to be down with you (with you, with you)

[Post-Chorus: Jack Avery]
List-, huh, I'm list- huh, list-, huh, I'm list- huh
Tell me a way, tell me a way
List-, huh, I'm list- huh, list-, huh, I'm list- huh
Tell me a way, tell me a way
List-, huh, I'm list- huh, list-, huh, I'm list- huh
Tell me a way, tell me a way
List-, huh, I'm list- huh
Tell me a way, tell me a way

[Chorus: All & Zach Herron]
I'm listening, I'm listening, tell me a way, tell me a way
I'm listening, what is it, tell me a way, tell me a way
What do I gotta do to be down with you (with you, with you)
What do I gotta do to be down with you (with you, with you)

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.
