The Single Notez 🎶:

Expressive, cutting vocals by RAYE; she delivers a commanding, entertaining vocal performance

Catchy, infectious chorus – this is the expectation for any dance cut

Brilliant, bright production (Corry, Guetta, et al); love the overall aesthetic and vibe cultivated on “Bed”

Electrifying, danceable beat; I love the moments when those electronic drums pummel incredibly hard (pre-chorus)

Straightforward, highly effective form; Predictability wins in this particular instance

Clocking in at just under three minutes, this record is of an optimal length

➖ No glaring cons or miscues – it’s all good


Memorable lyric:

“I got a bed, but I’d rather be in yours tonight
I got a bed, but I’d rather be in yours, yours
That’s what I say when I call you on the phone tonight
I got a bed, but I’d rather be in yours.”

🔏 In Closing: Joel Corry, RAYE, and David Guetta join forces to deliver a surefire, high-energy dance bop with “Bed.”
