Bastille are featured on Craig David’s latest track “I know you”. The garage-r&b singer will release his new album “The time is now” featuring 15 new tracks on January 26.
The album, which follows up 2016’s “Following my intuition”, includes further collaborations with JP Cooper, AJ Tracey, Ella Mai, Kaytranada and GoldLink.
In a recent interview, the “Fill me in” hitmaker explained how the collaboration came to fruition: “I met Dan from Bastille for the first time on Grimmy’s breakfast show. We said we’ve got to get in the studio at some point. Finally when we made it happen, the song that came out of it, a song called I Know You which is on the new album is more than I could have imagined.”
Craig David and Bastille will debut the song during a live performance on BBC One’s new music show It Sounds Like Friday Night tonight (November 24).
Lyrics:
I know you, I know you
I know you, I know you
I know you, I know you
This gonna be a heavy night
Way too many tricks for me to start it
Never need to apologize
We already know we’re far from perfect
I fall to the curb
You laugh ’till it hurts
Who cares we’ve been here so many times
But we’re all stumbling through the night
It doesn’t matter, we’re all together
And there’s paradise in our minds
Falling together, arms round each other
I know you, know me too
We’re all stumbling through the night
But it’s paradise in our minds
I know you
I know you
Stumbling, I know you
I know you, I know you
Stumbling
I can barely see in front of me
Strangers start to look like friendly faces
In the middle, I’m steady on my feet (you, you, you, you)
And carrying the world is overrated
I fall to the curb
You laugh ’till it hurts
Who cares we’ve been here so many times
But we’re all stumbling through the night
It doesn’t matter, we’re all together
And there’s paradise in our minds
Falling together, arms round each other
I know you, know me too
We’re all stumbling through the night
But it’s paradise in our minds
I know you
I know you
Stumbling, I know you
I know you, I know you
Stumbling
We’re all stumbling through the night
It doesn’t matter, we’re all together
And there’s paradise in our minds
Falling together, arms round each other
I know you, know me too
We’re all stumbling through the night
But it’s paradise in our minds
I know you
I know you
Stumbling, I know you
I know you, I know you
Stumbling
