Marking Léon’s first collaboration with The Arcade — a growing gospel-soul beat carries her pop vocals through a melody of soft synths. Also her first song with a feel-good vibe, excluding any feelings of a bitter relationship.
Also the single to lead her first headlining tour:
[Verse 1]
Wasn't gonna go out
I was gonna stay in
Another Friday night on my own
Then I started drinking
My phone started ringing
I got my shit and walked out the door
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh every time you cross my mind
I get stupid
Whoa
[Chorus]
Don’t overthink it
Just finish up your drink
And surround me, surround me
The night ain’t over
We’re far from being sober
Surround me, surround me
‘Cause I like you, I like you, I like you a lot
How to see through the smoke
I don’t know how you found me, you found me
The night ain’t over
We’re far from being sober
Surround me, surround me
[Verse 2]
Baby take me outside
Kiss me in the moonlight
I just want you to touch me
I don’t wanna waste no time
You don’t even know me
But I want you to show me
What it feels like to be alive
[Pre-Chorus]
The lights go down

Whoa
[Chorus]
Don’t overthink it
Just finish up your drink
And surround me, surround me
The night ain’t over

‘Cause I like you, I like you, I like you a lot
How to see through the smoke
I don’t know how you found me, you found me
The night ain’t over
We’re far from being sober
Surround me, surround me
[Bridge]
So don’t let me go, no don’t let me go
Surround me, surround me
So don’t let me go, no don’t let me go
Surround me, surround me
So don’t let me go, no don’t let me go
(Don’t let me go, don’t let me go)
Surround me, surround me
So don’t let me go, no don’t let me go
Surround me, surround me
[Outro]
Don’t let me go
Don’t let me go
Don’t let me go

In an article on HillyDilly, the songstress says:
‘Surround Me’ is a song I wrote very recently, and it turned out to be one of the few songs I have that isn’t about an aching heart. It’s about feeling free and letting go in ‘the heat of the moment’. I feel like everyone’s been in a situation where...
