As the release of his third studio album ‘Leap’ creeps ever closer, James Bay shares his latest single ‘Everybody Needs Someone’ – a thoughtful and introspective love song that finds the 31-year-old singer/songwriter yearning to find a sense of companionship and belonging.
Serving as the follow up to previous singles ‘Give Me the Reason’ and ‘One Life’, the captivating track offers fans further insight as to what they can expect to hear from the record, Bay’s first full-length studio album since the release of ‘Electric Light’ back in 2018.
In a press release announcing news of the single, James says of the track: “I love ‘Everybody Needs Someone’ so much. I know in hindsight that despite lots of fun work and touring back in 2019 I wrote this song because I was feeling lost and alone.”
“The feeling came like a quiet tidal wave. It really threw me around for a while. But thanks to the people closest to me in my life, I made it through that time. They know how to hold me up when I’m down. I hope you all love this song too. So excited for you to have it.”
