Gus Dapperton reunites with BENEE on "Don’t Let Me Down"

"Don't Let Me Down" is Dapperton and BENEE's first collaboration since BENEE's 2020 hit "Supalonely".

Dapperton says: “I’ve been a huge fan of BENEE ever since our collaboration on "Supalonely". She’s an incredible writer and has a beautiful voice. This beat came quickly when I was filling in the blanks with all the moods I wanted to convey on this project. I immediately thought of her voice. She sent me back an entire vocal take within a day or two and I thought it was perfect. This song is a cry for help and a final yearning of two forces being pulled apart.”

Of the video, he adds: “I’ve been really interested in exploring dancing for this project. I myself am not an amazing dancer but I think it’s important to own the way that your body moves, and how it may add to the visual form of the music. I was so happy when BENEE said she was down to dance as well. This video highlights a lonely lounge singer wasting their days away. When she meets another lost soul they find comfort in each other for just a brief moment. This is a subtle continuation of the story initiated in the "Horizons" video.”

"Don't Let Me Down" follows "Horizons" and "Wet Cement", which will feature on his forthcoming third album "HENGE".
