[Intro: Jack Avery]
Ooh (you got-, you got-, you got-, you-)

[Chorus: Jack Avery & All]
You've got a bad reputation in my neighborhood
You drive me mad with temptation 'cause it tastes so good
You know I wouldn't walk away even if I could
It took one night, one try, ayy
Damn, I'm hooked (oh)

[Verse 1: Daniel Seavey]
You were there when I was low, you held me high
And baby when you take control, we can go all night
Every single place we go, you start a fight
But then you kiss my neck and take a bite

[Pre-Chorus: Zach Herron]
Everybody says I'm sleeping with the enemy
I don't even care if you're gonna be the death of me, me, me

[Chorus: Jack Avery & All]
You've got a bad reputation in my neighborhood
You drive me mad with temptation 'cause it tastes so good
You know I wouldn't walk away even if I could
It took one night, one try, ayy
Damn, I'm hooked

[Post-Chorus: All & Daniel Seavey]
Ooh, I'm hooked
Ooh, I'm hooked (brrr- ah, pa, pa)

[Verse 2: Jonah Marais & All]
Ooh, I know that I shouldn't touch but you twist my arm
'Cause I can never get enough once the feeling starts
Baby, I'm the gasoline and your kiss is the spark
But then you take the wheel and crash my car

[Pre-Chorus: Zach Herron]
Everybody says I'm sleeping with the enemy
I don't even care if you're gonna be the death of me, me, me

[Chorus: Jack Avery & All]
You've got a bad reputation in my neighborhood
You drive me mad with temptation 'cause it tastes so good
You know I wouldn't walk away even if I could
It took one night, one try, ayy
Damn, I'm hooked

[Post-Chorus: All]
Ooh, I'm hooked
Ooh, I'm hooked

[Bridge: Corbyn Besson]
You got me under your influence
I swear I'm never gonna give you up, up, up, up, up, up, up

[Chorus: Jack Avery & All]
You've got a bad reputation in my neighborhood
You drive me mad with temptation 'cause it tastes so good
You know I wouldn't walk away even if I could
It took one night, one try, ayy
Damn, I'm hooked

[Post-Chorus: All]
Ooh, I'm hooked
Ooh, I'm hooked

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.
