Desire
Producers
I want you to hold me
Don't let me go
Be the one and only
Take all control
[Pre-Chorus]
Stay with me forever
At least for the night
Even when you leave me, lead me to the light
[Chorus]
You are my desire, oh
And just the thought of you is keepin' me awake
You take me higher, oh
Take me away
You are my desire, oh
And just the thought of you is keepin' me awake
You take me higher, oh
Take me away
[Build]
Takе me away
[Drop]
Promise you won't wake mе
Before you leave
Leave me in a daydream
Just you and me
[Pre-Chorus]
Stay with me forever
At least for the night (The night)
Even when you leave me, lead me to the light
[Chorus]
You are my desire, oh
And just the thought of you is keepin' me awake
You take me higher, oh
Take me away
You are my desire, oh
And just the thought of you is keepin' me awake
You take me higher, oh
Take me away
[Build]
Take me away
[Drop]
About
Desire reunites artists Calvin Harris and Sam Smith for a second-time collaboration, following their massive success with the 2018 dance hit Promises which peaked the charts shortly after its release.
With its trance-influenced production, the song further explores a new sound for Calvin Harris, as it builds upon his recent chart-topping single with Ellie Goulding titled Miracle.
The lyrics convey a sense of yearning for an escape from reality, a desire to be taken away into a daydream, to be held and not let go by the person being longed for.
The track was teased multiple times on the artists' social media accounts. Few weeks prior to its release, it premiered at the music festival Ushuaïa Ibiza 2023, followed by an official one-minute snippet.
