Artist: Calvin Harris
When I met you in the summer
To my heartbeat sound
We fell in love
As the leaves turned brown
And we could be together baby
As long as skies are blue
You act so innocent now
But you lied so soon
When I met you in the summer
When I met you in the summer
To my heartbeat sound
We fell in love
As the leaves turned brown
And we could be together baby
As long as skies are blue
You act so innocent now
But you lied so soon
When I met you in the summer
Summer
When I met you in the summer
Summer
Background
There must be a point in every artist’s career when they reflect on whether they’ve hit their peak already. It’s a thought process you’d imagine went through Calvin Harris’ mind after he achieved nine Top 10 singles in the United Kingdom with his previous album “18 Months.” Big-name guest features and even bigger hooks made the campaign a runaway success, but as he tries to step out of the shadow of past glories, how does the lead cut from his new era compare?
As the title suggests, “Summer” is a bright and vibrant banger destined to soundtrack the warmer months. Lofty synths, pounding beats and that euphoric instrumental chorus tick off all the hallmark features Harris has built his international reputation upon. “We could be together baby/ As long as the skies are blue,” he tells his holiday fling, forecasting stormier times ahead. He may not see his romance lasting beyond the sweltering weather, but come rain or shine, we suspect the love for his latest anthem will remain faithful.
