Sigala and James Arthur’s collaboration “Lasting lover” finally has a music video!
It’s a very summery clip with sick cars, pink smoke and a whole lot of fireworks.
The emotional dance-pop track, written by no other than Lewis Capaldi, contains a sample of MGMT’s 2008 hit “Time to pretend”.
About his collaborations with James Arthur, the “Sweet lovin’” hitmaker said: “It actually arrived to me as an acoustic track. From there, it has been a very fun journey to take it to where it is now. I have wanted to work with James Arthur for ages, as I love his voice, but because the song came together during lockdown, I wasn’t actually able to meet James in person, so we worked across Zoom for a long time and finally met on the set for the music video – luckily we got on just as well in real life!”.
“Lasting lover” is James’ first release of 2020 after “Quite miss home“.

Lyrics:

I don’t know why
I can’t quite
Get you out my sight
You’re always just behind
Each thought across my mind

Keep crawling back
To where we last
Left our love on hold
I’m always out for more
So what you waiting for

Wait before you burn me to the ground
Please stay until the beat of my heart runs out

I don’t wanna let go let go
Cus I been tryin’a hold on for too long
I feel like I’m lost without a trace
Take my heart and runaway
She said, I’ve been looking for a lasting lover

To save me, to save me
From every single heartache heartache
I feel like I’m lost without a trace
Take my heart and runaway
And she said, I’ve been looking for a lasting lover

One by one now
And two by twice
I’ve watched all my loves
Move on to something more
Up and out the door

Caught in between every passing hour
Oh please stay, til the taste in your mouth turns sour

I don’t wanna let go let go
Cus I been tryin’a hold on for too long
I feel like I’m lost without a trace
Take my heart and runaway
She said, Ive been looking for a lasting lover

To save me, to save me
From every single heartache heartache
I feel like I’m lost without a trace
Take my heart and runaway
And she said, I’ve been looking for a lasting lover

I’ve been looking for a lover

let me know
Did we ever mean anything at all
So let me know
Can we ever mean anything at all
I feel like I’m lost without a trace
Take my heart and runaway
She said,
I feel like I’m lost without a trace
Take my heart and runaway
She said,
Ive been looking for a lasting lover
