It is the first single from his forthcoming album Nation of Two. The song premiered on Triple J on 13 July 2017, and is about being in a relationship and letting your defences down. Joy said `` Lay It on Me '' was recorded in Malibu, California and came together on the basis of an old phone recording looking for a home. `` I wrote the guitar riff for this song in 2012 ( and ) I tried to write lyrics to it for ages. I remember being at SXSW in 2013 / 4 and just that riff was still there. The start of this year it all came together... once you have the right lyrics and ingredients the song comes together really quickly. I think Paul Kelly described them as odd socks, you have them lying around looking for another match.
