Multi-platinum singer-songwriter Calum Scott premieres his new single “Die For You” — a tender declaration of fiercely devoted love. The latest release from his upcoming third album Avenoir (due out September 12th via EMI), “Die For You” reaffirms the UK-based artist’s incredible talent for crafting the kind of songs that become the soundtrack to our lives’ most meaningful moments. Listen to “Die For You” HERE, and go HERE to pre-order Avenoir now.
Anchored in his gently commanding vocal work, “Die For You” was written by Calum, Jon “MAGS” Maguire, and Corey Sanders — the very same trio of songwriters who penned his 5X platinum smash “You Are The Reason” (an iconic standout from his gold-certified 2018 debut Only Human, also featuring his 3x platinum, Brit Award-nominated cover of Robyn’s “Dancing On My Own”). In a departure from the larger-than-life energy of Calum’s previous single “God Knows,” “Die For You” unfolds with an intimacy that fully intensifies its unfettered emotion.
“I have been eagerly anticipating for the last four years to release this song,” says Calum. “After experimenting with more uptempo songs on the album, I wanted something that spoke to the soul. ‘Die For You’ is a classic devotion of love, a poetic and visual kind of storytelling that from my earliest dreams of being an artist, was what I always saw myself performing. This feels just as special to me as ‘You Are The Reason’ and ‘Dancing On My Own.’ I’m so excited for the world to hear this.”
Since first rising to global fame, Calum Scott has heard from countless fans who’ve shared their stories of incorporating his songs into weddings, end-of-life rituals, and other major life events. With “Die For You,” he continues that legacy by delivering a love song for the ages. After opening on a somber expression of regret (“I wish that it was simple/I wish there was a way/To fix what I have broken/To change the way I’m made”), the piano-led ballad reaches a glorious urgency at the chorus: “If the world was on fire/I’d fight it for you/I’d cry enough water/And breathe all the fumes.” With its sweeping strings and delicate acoustic guitar, “Die For You” also finds Calum’s voice drifting into a breathtaking falsetto — a moment that perfectly captures the bittersweet ache that comes with loving someone so intensely.
