Just a day after Teddy Swims and his girlfriend Raiche announced they are expecting their first baby, Teddy has released his first song of 2025, called 'Are You Even Real'.
Announced late last month, the singer teased fans with a clip of his new song asking them: 'Are you…are you…gonna guess who’s on this track with me? 👀'.
Responding to Teddy's post Craig David, who is set to embark on his UK tour next month, commented: 'Sounding great brother🤝✨', while a fan answered his question saying: 'Raye, Tyla or Muni Long would sound awesome.' (sic)
Teddy later confirmed his collaborator is Giveon, who rose to fame back in 2020 after he worked with Drake on 'Chicago Freestyle'. Since then, Giveon released a studio album called 'Give or Take' in 2022, which reached Number 11 in the US, while also featuring on the massive Number 2 hit with Justin Bieber, 'Peaches'.
On the day of the song's release (10th January), Teddy released the music video which features him and Giveon sitting in armchairs, back-to-back.
