Calvin Harris has begun teasing his new single on his social media with the artwork below.
From https://twitter.com/CalvinHarris/status/772273924528680960
I freaked out when I saw this on Instagram. HYPE!
Since This Is What You Came For and Hype were announced in the week of release - I'd (like to) think this is out on friday. We'll know more soon.
YAS YAS YAAASSS so excited
must be an astonishing collab
p.s. already in love with this artwork
If it's Justin Bieber I swear
i feel like zara hasn't featured on a track in a while.
Zara I'd be fine with but knowing him it'll be like Justin Bieber or someone horrendous like Sam Smith
Well I would be hyped but both This Is What You Came For & Hype were pretty crap...
Can only hope this will be back to his best.
I'm half expecting someone like Ellie Goulding or John Newman to be honest, I doubt Calvin is going to have Justin Bieber feature on his single when the Beebz already has two big hits impacting at the moment.
CAN OTHER PEOPLE STOP RELEASING THIS WEEK
((i rlly hope it is zara tho))
Is it collab with Shakira? The name of the song Feel the night. Or it is the old one?
Please let it be Ellie.
I think it's Ellie Goulding. Calvin was talking about doing a song with Ellie when he was on R1 the day TIWYCF premiered.
But then surely she wouldn't want this getting in the way of Still Falling For You?
I'd be happy with it personally though, I Need Your Love I got a bit bored of through overplay but Outside is sublime
Still Falling For You is only a soundtrack single and it's underperforming - a Calvin collab now would be a great way for her to get her name back out there.
I'd rather it be her than John Newman.
I wouldn't mind Shakira!!! She kinda needs it too
I'd love it to be Cheryl, insiders say she's featuring on a track this end of year, it would be great news if its on Calvin's
Or Dua Lipa would be amazing on a Calvin track
I would love it to be Imagine Dragons
I've got my money on Rita Ora.
Do we even know if it's out on Friday or are we just assuming because I said it was probable? Oops
Imagine if it was Katy Perry
Him and Ellie together is just perfection - INYL took a while to grow on me but Outside is just incredible. Ellie did say in an interview a while back she'd done something with him I'm sure!
Any news on who it's with?
no, guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out, if the song's even out tomorrow.
Calvin did mention that he had a song with Ellie Goulding but was just waiting for her to come into the studio and sing her bit.. This was a few months back. Also, it was mentioned that the Calvin X Ellie collab would also include a male singer.
I'm thinking Calvin Harris (ft. Ellie Goulding & John Newman)
EDIT: Ellie has also said in several interviews that she has 2 collaborations coming this year.
I'm dying to know if it's out tomorrow - new Calvin, Gaga, and a Bastille album is literally the stuff of dreams.
It's obviously not going to be as she isn't "cool" enough for Calvin I would expect, but reasons some people think it is Demi is that the birds on the single cover are very similar to one of Demi's tattoos, Demi tweeted Calvin lyrics the day before this artwork was posted and, if Calvin wanted to be political, Demi was team Calvin following the Taylor split.
As we know Demi would be amazing on an EDM number as Neon Lights proved, but it is of course way too good to be true.
oh please PLEASE not Demi. let's hope it's Ellie Goulding.
As much as I love Ellie, I'm not sure I need a third Calvin and Ellie collab. I'd like him to go with someone different for a change!
Adele please.
I hope this is released tomorrow - I'm in need of some new Calvin music. It feels like TIWYCF has been around for ages now!
Curveball: Craig David (PLEASE that would be immense!)
Plot twist: it's Rihanna.
...a new day and no single Oh well, chances are we'll have a big Calvin vs Emeli battle next week then.
Hopefully it will be released this Friday
This is a https://twitter.com/CalvinHDaily/status/774094232709500928 which Calvin posted on Snapchat the other day and it's allegedly from his upcoming single. That said, he has posted the same teaser twice over the last few days there, so I'm wondering if the track is indeed coming out this Friday.
Just saying, but that snippet sounds very John Newman.
It comes out this week and it's called "My Way". There isn't any featured artist in the artwork, so looks like he's doing the vocals.
Oh joy
Brilliant! Can't wait to hear this
I just hope it's not disappointing like Summer
I tend to love his songs that he provides the vocals for, so I have high hopes for this.
A newer 'Feel So Close' would be most welcome 🙌🏼
f***ing BRICKING IT right now because my first thought was Calvin howling 'BABY WON'T YOU COME MY WA-AAAA-AAY' omfg
so hyped though.
much excite~
Looking forward to this! I do much prefer tracks like 'Feel So Close' or Acceptable In The 80's' to his tracks with featured artists.
It has a feature, he's holding a competition for us to guess the feature.
He's apparently 'retiring' the album format. Very annoying if that's the case, it just means less music from him! Although, if his future music will be the same standard as 'This Is What You Came For', maybe it's not such a bad thing.
He's been very successful with his albums so I'm not entirely sure why he would give them up.
oh.
maybe he could do a duet with the featured artist though? that'd be a first i believe.
and WOTTTT @Froot that can't be real?!?
Yeah, he said in a radio interview that he will no longer create albums because some of the album tracks don't get the success they deserve. (In other words they flop, *cough* Pray To God)..
Anyway, apparently it's Ariana. I'll cry if this is true.
Maybe he is dueting with Justin Timberlake
Side to Side and this? She'll be a FORCE in q4 to say the least.
I have seriously had enough of Ariana - praying that she's not on the track but it looks likely
so he'll just be releasing singles now? that's really disappointing.
I don't think it'll make that much difference in all honesty! He's much more of a singles act and it's not as if he has drastic reinventions between each release or anything, haha. As long as he keeps on delivering the goods, I'm more than happy to just be getting singles.
it means we get less songs from him though. Motion had 16 songs on it. How many years will it take him to release 16 singles at his current rate?
CALVIN AND ARIANA WOULD SLAY MY LIFE OMG PLEASE
I hope it turns out to be an instrumental tbh
someone name me an outstanding calvin album track that never quite made it as a single
ouch hope its not Ariana :/
for me Calvin is totally a singles artist, not an album artist, when you put an album out, the album has to tell a story, it's not a collection of hits like Now 85, and thats what Calvin does, especially with 18 Months, which probably had more top 2 hits than some of the Now series
Dollar Signs is dreadful! I was so looking forward to a Calvin/Tinashe collab, but it was such a disappointment
oh my GOD CREMEY. A Calvin x Tinashe collaboration would be insane.
Read it wrong, Calvin and Ariana have confirmed that she doesn't feature on the track in a video together! I'm still suspicious.
Lmao. Talk about conveniently overshadowing Side To Side.
I've seen some people on Instagram think hem's collaborating with Demi Lovato
Wonder if this will top Fetty Wap...
looks like everybody is answering Demi in the contest cos she twitted some CH lyrics last week
I don't like Demi's voice so hopefully it's not her, but she was bearable in Olly's 'Up' so maybe she wouldn't be bad on a Calvin song either(?) As long as she doesn't screech or oversing.
he could literally have dibs on anyone he wanted so better not be demi
Oh my god, Ellie Goulding just recently said in an interview that her next song is with Calvin Harris.
But if it isn't for this song, then I really hope it's Demi! She has an amazing voice.
Frank Sinatra remix plz
Demi would be amaze but I don't want her biggest hit being some generic dance song
lyric video just released
L O L !
Surely he will reveal the feature before it gets released?
Is it just me who's beginning to think Calvin is trolling us all and there's actually no feature after all? :')
(hoping to be wrong here lol)
Calvin's on Radio 1's breakfast tomorrow morning with Grimmy and is also co-presenting Annie Mac's dance show tomorrow evening!
http://radiotoday.co.uk/2016/09/calvin-harris-to-co-host-bbc-radio-1-show/
So ready for it to be a John Newman collab and be a pile of balls
9 hours 20 minutes left.
Are you excited?
Of course.
When's this premiering? Midnight?
Also OMG at this getting 6 pages already (making it one of the most replied to threads of the forum) and we haven't even heard the song.
Only Calvin.
HYPEEE
Should we already be expecting another Calvin #1 single... The first since 2014 when he collaborated with... yep you guessed it, John Newman.
I agree with you both, I think this is just a hype campaign rather than anything meaningful. He's never done this before and that artwork looks quite final with just his name on it.
I just heard it on Spotify, there is not a featured artist on it! What a publicity stunt he pulled on twitter!
The song itself it actually very mediocre and lacks any real quality at all compared to what we're used to from him. Such a disappointment as like most of us I was hyped for this release, but it's a shame that all we get to hear lyrically is the repeated line "You were the one thing in my way" over and over.
Complete let down.
Lyric Video:
I like it!
Aimed at TS I reckon...
lol I love the feature...
I really dislike it, it's so repetitive lyrically.
It sounds like a dodgy track they'd play at a kids disco at Pontins..
I actually think this is better than any of the stuff he has done in the last few years...
I actually really like this. It doesn't sound like a hit to me but it sounds unique and personal and a big step up from TIWYCF.
Hate hate this, don't think I'll ever return to it.
So he was totally trolling us with that feature thing?
I'm not sure what to make of it, it's a bit boring and sounds like a tropical bandwagon jump.
It's okay. I'm not too sure whether I like it that much, though, it's kind of trying really hard to be tropical house but failing at it. Still sounds like it could be at least a minor hit.
This is SO dull. It has nothing to it other than being a bandwagon tropical house song, his vocals sound like he is as bored as I am listening to it
what a disappointment,
the contest, the no feature, the tease,
and then the let down of the song itself, repetitive, goes nowhere, silly lyrics trying to cash in on the TS situation, very childish overall :/
LOVE THIS
it doesn't quite have the same impact as TIWYCF but it's brilliant nonetheless. great to hear Calvin's voice on a song again too. doesn't sound like a big bandwagon jump at all to me too it's very Calvin sounding
This is just as dull as 'This Is What You Came For'. It's alright as background music but I don't know how it can excite you to listen to it out of choice.
This track is essentially album filler, though obviously won't get the chance to fill an album if he's not making them anymore. I guess he can't expect every single he puts out to be a million selling smash though, I'd be incredibly surprised if this ends up being half as big as This Is What You Came For.
I mean it's fine but the drop sounds like it's been produced by a resident Butlins DJ whose just got his hands on 'my first tropical house' software or something, one of the cheesiest dance songs I've heard this year.
what gooddelta said
i actually rly like his voice so glad it wasn't a feat. but it's definitely album fodder
I actually like the melody and the vibe overall, it's just the breakdown just sounds a bit amateur.
I'm sure it will be a massive hit though.
This is alright on first listen wanted a bit more out of the 3 singles of his How Deep Is Your Love >> TIWYCF >>>> My Way allready
This is a big let down, and I'm usually here for a Calvin-vocal track. As it stands I'd say this is my least favourite single by him (not counting songs he features on) since Merrymaking at My Place!
I'm not usually someone who tends to moan about a song being repetitive, many of my favourite songs are, but this song takes things a bit too far even by my standards...! http://www.directlyrics.com/calvin-harris-my-way-lyrics.html
Yeah this is just filler at best. I dunno if it's because I listened to Emeli's track first, but it really paled in comparison. The shade towards TIWYCF never ceases to amaze me. It's GLORIOUS and you guys shall just have to deal tbh...
Calvin Harris' songs have always been very repetitive lyrically, well yes there have been a few which follow pop song verse-chorus structures (I Need Your Love, How Deep Is Your Love) but he hasn't just suddenly got lazy with songwriting.
Troll, he hyped so hard track and turned off comments on tube.
Even worse than that Ri Ri collabo.
Who'da thought a song even MORE repetitive than Lady GaGa's would be released a couple days later!
Definately don't agree that it's as bad as TIWWCF! I really like this. His voice sounds good on it.
I'll come out and declare myself as being firmly on Team Jonjo ! 'This Is What You Came For' is infinitely better than this. Never understood the collective meh response that song received on this forum (although having said that, it spent 4 weeks at #1 in the personal chart forum's multi-chart, so it must have a lot of fans here. I guess its detractors were just a bit louder).
Well, I'm glad it's not a feature. His vocals are sublime on their own and I'm not here for another recycled guest appearance...
That said, this definitely needed a stronger drop, it sounds like something that would be good in his earlier eras, but from where he is now, it feels amateur. It's a nice listen, it just doesn't go much beyond that.
Basically, give me another Summer with a huge drop, Calvin, not this new subtle stuff (unashamed).
#TeamJonjo too tbh This Is What You Came For is a proper great danxe tune dont get the hate for it
Biggest let down of the year?
fantastic stuff
Well I went it with low expectations & even they weren't met, sounding pretty dire on first listen really. What a terrible year he's having...
He'll never produce a masterpiece like How Deep Is Your Love ever again I suspect...
Having said that, I feel this *might* have more a chance of me changing my mind about it eventually than TIWYCF.
Disappointed with this. Weakest single for quite some time and sounds like a rehash of his earlier stuff.
Banal.
On the one side it's nice to not have a featured artist on this one and he's singing again, on the other side this is one of his worse singles to date.
It might grow on me later (I don't know yet, haven't heard it enough), but for now I'm not really interested in this song.
This is such an earworm - good to see it doing very well indeed on iTunes and Spotify, looks like it's shaping up to be a respectable hit for him
Quite disappointed by this Maybe it will grow over time but I was looking forward to having any vocal track from him!
this has already grown a LOT on me
rly do love the tone of his voice and wish he'd use it more
Yeah the vocals are rather dull, the production is ok and might grow on me but it's pretty weak for his standards. I miss the 18 Months era
I love this. Really is Calvin at his most basic and on autopilot but it's great nonetheless.
Have always loved his voice.
This is so damn repetitive.
My favourite of his Outside, not because Ellie is on it but because the production is just fantastic. I'd love to hear that side of Calvin again.
I agree with a lot of what's been said, it's ok and enjoyable, but it really is an album track. That said it's Calvin Harris, he can release anything and it will go Top 10. By releasing a tropical house song after the summer, it's actually probably going to work in his favour.
I know I'm still in the minority but I really enjoy this. I don't find his vocal dull at all. Something I like about his vocal in this which I heard in 'I'm Not Alone' and 'Feels so Close', is that I get a sense of vulnerability in his voice.
offaiah has remixed this and it will be released tomorrow.
YES!
think this is now one of his best for me
more of him singing pls
This has slightly grown on me, but it's still nothing that special.
The music video comes out tomorrow!
From https://twitter.com/CalvinHarris/status/791741061836054528:
Good news, I was annoyed when the official audio video got taken down the other week.
Music Video:
INCREDIBLE visuals
Anyone know why comments are disabled on the video?
Disc 1, Track 8.
Tiësto Remix is out tomorrow.
This'll be 5 years old on Thursday! It's one I've never really returned to but I do enjoy it when I hear it, especially as it has Calvin on vocals. This is the last track of his just to feature him isn't it?
I actually really love this track and don’t really see why it gets so much hate!
