Nathan Dawe announces new banger 'We Ain't Here For Long'
His fans helped to write it
Nathan Dawe, the DJ/producer behind hits such as '0800 Heaven', with Ella Henderson and Joel Corry, and '21 Reasons', also with Ella, has now announced his first song of 2024, and it sounds like a banger!
The DJ previewed a clip of the unfinished song last month on TikTok, and it was quickly picked up by fans, who asked him to release it.
Nathan has now announced the song, and its release date, explaining the writing process on Instagram, he wrote: 'So… I posted a super rough clip of a hook we made in the studio on TikTok a few weeks ago, and people went CRAZY for it. It’s a song about being down in the dumps but making sure to make the most of the time we’ve got here on earth as we ain’t here for long.
'It was a race against the clock but we managed to get the tune finished in record timing with the help of everyone over on TikTok putting their input in. My followers helped to write the verses, name the track and even chose the artwork… a completely new approach to a release! I’m buzzing to announce that ‘We Ain’t Here For Long’ is out everywhere this Friday! My first banger of 2024 🖤'. (sic)
Fans have been absolutely loving the clips of Nathan's song, and they won't have to wait too long for it to be released. One fan commented: 'Friday cannot come soon enough. You always produce banger after banger and this sounds no different', with another saying: 'Sounds amazing 😍'.
'We Ain't Here For Long' is the follow-up to Nathan's collab with Bebe Rexha, 'Heart Still Beating', which of course was another banger, and his commercially successful hit with Joel Corry and Ella Henderson, '0800 Heaven'.
When is 'We Ain't Here For Long' released?
Nathan's new song 'We Ain't Here For Long' will be released on Friday 2nd February and you will be able to hear it on Northsound 1.
