After weeks of teasing on Sam’s social media sites, this song was released on July 19th 2019. Sam said that they wanted to move on from heartbreak ballads, commenting in a press release:
This year, both personally and musically, I feel so free. More than ever I have had so much fun making this reco...
[Verse 1]
I'm done hatin' myself for feelin'
I'm done cryin' myself awake
I gotta leave and start the healin'
But when you move like that, I just wanna stay
[Pre-Chorus]
What have I become now?
Lookin' through your phone now
Oh now, love to you is just a game
Look what I have done now
Dialling up the numbers on you
I don't want my heart to break
[Chorus]
Baby, how do you sleep when you lie to me?
All that shame and all that danger
I'm hopin' that my love will keep you up tonight
Baby, how do you sleep when you lie to me?
All that fear and all that pressure
I'm hopin' that my love will keep you up tonight
[Post-Chorus]
(Tell me, how do you—)
Love will keep you up tonight
(Tell me, how do you—)
[Verse 2]
Oh, no, how did I manage to lose me?
I am not this desperate, not this crazy
There's no way I'm stickin' 'round to find out
I won't lose like that, I won't lose myself
[Pre-Chorus]
Look what I have done (Done)
Diallin' up the numbers on you
I don't want my heart to break
[Chorus]
Baby, how do you sleep when you lie to me?
All that shame and all that danger
I'm hopin' that my love will keep you up tonight
Baby, how do you sleep when you lie to me?
All that fear and all that pressure
I'm hopin' that my love will keep you up tonight
[Post-Chorus]
(Tell me, how do you—)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Love will keep you up tonight
(Tell me, how do you—)
Oh, love will keep you up tonight
[Chorus]
Baby, how do you sleep when you lie to me?
All that shame and all that danger
I'm hopin' that my love will keep you up tonight
Baby, how do you sleep when you lie to me? (Oh)
All that fear and all that pressure (Oh)
I'm hopin' that my love will keep you up tonight
(Tell me, how do you—)

We wanted to nod towards George Michael in a 2019 way (because it was 2019 when we wrote it). And it was just so fun. But I remember the day after I wrote this, I played it to my sister and she hated it! It put me off it a little bit. And then I lived with it for a bit and then we all just started t...
