‘Under the Sun’ is Henderson’s second collaboration with Switch Disco, following 2023’s ‘React’, and the first time collaborating with Alok.
[Chorus]
One last time under the sun
I need one last time before we run
Wherever we go, whatever we do
I just wanna stay forever with you
Give me one last time before we run
Let's fall in love under the sun
[Post-Chorus]
Under the sun
[Verse]
Ocean eyes, my escape, my sweet paradise
We collide like a wave crashin' through my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
You got me right where you want me, body to body
Now we're dancing barefoot on the sand
Put your hand on my heartbeat, sweat dripping on me
Baby, we can do it all again
[Chorus]
I need one last time under the sun
I need one last time before we run
Wherever we go, whatever we do
I just wanna stay forever with you
I need one last time before we run
Let's fall in love under the sun
[Post-Chorus]
Under the sun, oh
Oh, ah
[Chorus]
I need one last time under the sun, oh
I need one last time before we run, oh
Wherever we go, whatever we do
I just wanna stay forever with you
Give me one last time before we run
Let's fall in love under the sun
[Post-Chorus]
Under the sun, yeah
Ah
Let's fall in love under the sun

Ella Henderson:
“Under The Sun” is the song to kickstart all those summer feels. It’s all about living in the moment with someone and dancing off into the sunset. It made me feel so joyous when I wrote it and I hope it has the same effect on people when they hear it!
