Following March’s banging synthesizer, De’Wayne is back with another absolutely brilliant new single.

This one goes by the name lightweight, and hears him creatively tie in boxing and relationships within the lyrics.

“This song is about the underdog, the lightweight in the fight,” De’Wayne says. “I wanted to explore the concept of combining boxing and love in the same song. The idea of not giving up in a fight is equivalent to not throwing in the towel in a relationship or a goal you really want to achieve in life. So I just took that and ran with it on lightweight.”

He continues that it’s “one of those songs where I took some of my real life experiences – what happened that morning – into the studio. It means a lot because it has such a beautiful message to me. The bridge goes, ‘If I take two steps in and you do the same, we might just be alright, we might, we might.’ I stand firm on that line. That’s the main thing I would want anyone to hear and really feel.”
