Ahead of his album release this Friday, Australian singer-songwriter Dean Lewis has dropped a brand new song called ‘Stay Awake’.

As he revealed on Twitter, the song is “about trying to hold onto someone who is thinking of leaving... It sounds happy, but if you listen to the lyrics you’ll realise it’s not.”

He’s also been announced as Apple Music’s Up Next Artist for the week, with a full documentary film set to be released next week - but they’ve released a short trailer ahead of this:
