[Verse 1: Daniel Seavey & Zach Herron]
Look at us
We could paint the perfect picture
About us
From your head to toe I'll fit you
They follow us
Yeah we make 'em think it's fiction
They believe it so I guess it must be real

[Pre-Chorus: Jack Avery & Jonah Marais]
I can read your mind
I know what you're thinking
I could spend my time
Feeling all the reasons
What they know about us
Doesn't make a difference
Baby, we got us
We on something different

[Chorus: Corbyn Besson]
We on something, something, some
We on something different
We on something, something, some
We on something different
We on something, something, some
We on something different
We on something, something, some
We on something different

[Verse 2: Daniel Seavey & Zach Herron]
In a rush
Even though we young, we flexin'
We fall in love
About a hundred times a day
Like it's not enough
Yeah we make 'em think it's fiction
They believe it so I guess it must be real

[Pre-Chorus: Jack Avery & Jonah Marais]
I can read your mind
I know what you're thinking
I could spend my time
Feeling all the reasons
What they know about us
Doesn't make a difference
Baby, we got us
We on something different

[Chorus: Corbyn Besson]
We on something, something, some
We on something different
We on something, something, some
We on something different
We on something, something, some
We on something different
We on something, something, some
We on something different

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.
