[Verse 1: Jonah Marais]
I can't even hide it
I haven’t stopped thinkin' 'bout
Your lips, mmm, your lips, yeah
I’m losin' my mind
It's been too long, I'm missin'
Your kiss, yeah, your kiss

[Pre-Chorus: Corbyn Besson]
You
You've been there through it all
You answered all my calls
Ooh
I can't believe I let you go

[Chorus: Jack Avery]
Tears and slammin' doors
I’m fallin’ out on the floor
Beggin', beggin’, please
You don't want me no more
I never hurt like this before
I'm beggin', beggin’, please
Now every day it rains
And I'm the one to blame
Baby, I walked away
When you came to stay, oh
Now everything's grey

[Verse 2: Daniel Seavey]
I'm so, so sorry
I know that's not enough, but
It's true, yeah, it's true
I can't believe that I
Thought I could ever live
Without you, yeah, without you, oh

[Pre-Chorus: Zach Herron]
You
You've been there through it all
You answered all my calls
Ooh
I can't believe I let you go

[Chorus: Jack Avery & All]
Tears and slammin' doors
I'm fallin' out on the floor
Beggin', beggin', please
You don't want me no more
I never hurt like this before
I'm beggin', beggin', please
Now every day it rains
And I'm the one to blame
Baby, I walked away
When you came to stay, oh
Now everything's grey

[Post-Chorus: Daniel Seavey]
Oh, oh
Ooh, oh-oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, oh, oh

[Chorus: Jack Avery & All]
Tears and slammin' doors
I'm fallin' out on the floor
Beggin', beggin', please
You don't want me no more
I never hurt like this before
I'm beggin', beggin', please
Now every day it rains
And I'm the one to blame
Baby, I walked away
When you came to stay, oh
Now everything's grey

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.
