Regard, Troye Sivan, and Tate McRae make a truly formidable team on the thrilling dance/pop collaboration, โYou.โ
What happens when you put DJ/producer ๐ Regard, and pop artists ๐ Troye Sivan, and ๐ Tate McRae on the same track? That would be a certified BOP, folks. These three standouts come together for the dance single, simply titled, ๐ต โYouโ.ย Thereโs plenty to โYouโ considering it runs nearly four minutes in duration.ย Itโs a solid four-minutes, thanks to sleek production work by Kosovo-Albanian DJ, and a team of songwriters beyond the aforementioned artists including ๐ผโ Frederik Castenschiold Eichen, ๐ผโ Koda, ๐ผโ SAKIMA, and ๐ผโ Tom Mann.
Regard definitely fuels the fire with his electronic backdrop that sounds modern, very โnowโ and also, forward thinking. This sets up both singers for success for sure. Troye Sivan takes first blood on the refrain (not to be mistaken with the chorus), singing quite expressively, and even showcasing some falsetto โ ooh la la! Tate McRae arrives for the first time on the sole verse, singing with smoky, breathy vocals. ย She follows with the refrain (or pre-chorus) first performed by Sivan. The centerpiece, of course, is the incredibly catchy chorus:
โOoh, yeah When I try to fall back, I fall back to you (Yeah, ayy) When I talk to my friends, I talk about you (Yeah, ayy) When the Hennessy's strong all I see is you, is you, is you, oh you.โ
On the second chorus, Troye and Tate sing together; I totally heart the chemistry.ย The record features a nice bridge section performed mostly by McRae. During this section, Regard also gives us some more playful touches on the instrumental end of things.
