[Verse: Corbyn Besson & Zach Herron]
I need you in my life like limelight
Wherever I go I'm taking you
Whenever I call you're my lifeline
I never hang up I depend on you

[Refrain: Jack Avery & (Jonah Marais)]
You fly with me so I call you red-eye
The sky's so clear when you're the view (you're the view)

[Chorus: Daniel Seavey & All]
I only say it 'cause I really mean it
I ain't afraid of how you got me feeling
The sky's so clear when you're the view

[Post-Chorus: All]
Anywhere I go I'm taking you
Anywhere I go I'm taking you

[Verse: Jonah Marais & Daniel Seavey]
I need you in my life like limelight
Wherever I go I'm taking you
Whenever I call you're my lifeline
I never hang up I depend on you

[Refrain: All & Jack Avery & (Jonah Marais)]
You fly with me so I call you redeye
The sky's so clear when you're the view (you're the view)

[Chorus: Daniel Seavey & All]
I only say it 'cause I really mean it
I ain't afraid of how you got me feeling
The sky's so clear when you're the view

[Post-Chorus: All]
Anywhere I go I'm taking you
Anywhere I go I'm taking you
Anywhere I go I'm taking you
The sky's so clear when you're the view

[Bridge: Jack Avery]
You're the view, you're the view
You're the view, you're the view

[Chorus: All]
I only say it 'cause I really mean it
I ain't afraid of how you got me feeling
The sky's so clear when you're the view

[Post-Chorus: All]
Anywhere I go I'm taking you
Anywhere I go I'm taking you
Anywhere I go I'm taking you
Anywhere I go I'm taking 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.
