Die For You

"**Die For You**" is a song by Swedish pop singer LÉON from her sophomore album, *Apart* (2020). It was released alongside the album on 30 October 2020 under LÉON Recordings.

## Background & composition

"Die For You" was written by LÉON and longtime friend and collaborator, Martin Stilling. In a November 2020 Instagram live, LÉON and Stilling revealed that it was one of the earlier songs written for the album.

According to LÉON, "Die For You" was easy to make, but difficult to decide when it was done.

In a 2020 interview, she explained the connection between "Die For You" and the song before it on the album, "Tell Me": "[W]hy those two songs are next to each other is because I envision a music video for ‘Tell Me’ that would be the morning when you wake up after a night out and confront the person you’re thinking about, and ‘Die For You’ is more in the moment when you don’t want to go home and then you have to kind of face your own fears of being alone." She remarked this was funny because "Die For You" was written before "Tell Me."

## Release

"Die For You" was officially released on 30 October 2020 alongside the rest of the album.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

The party's over, time to go

Spinning lights, the music dies, you never showed

Wine stains and glitter on the floor

Grab my shoes, always the last one out the door

**[Pre-Chorus]**

And for a moment, it all stopped

My head, my heart, like I forgot that you are gone

And then the feeling brings me back again

**[Chorus]**

I'm losing all my senses every night

Darlin', don't you know that I would die, I'd die for you?

I don't wanna want somebody new

Darlin', don't you know that I die every night for you?

I cry for you

**[Verse 2]**

Above me, I can see the stars

And it feels like we are miles and miles apart

And I know we said we shouldn't talk

But I lost a friend and maybe that's the hardest part

**[Pre-Chorus]**

For a moment, it all stopped

My restless heart, like I forgot that you are gone

And then the feeling brings me back again

**[Chorus]**

I'm losing all my senses every night

Darlin', don't you know that I would die, I'd die for you?

I don't wanna want somebody new

Darlin', don't you know that I die every night for you?

I cry for you (I cry for you)

**[Bridge]**

I hate when everybody's going home

And I'm on my own, all on my own

I say, "Couldn't we just have one more

Before we go?" I don't want to go

I wanna feel like I'm flying, I wanna stay in the clouds, stay

But when I fall into my bed, it tears me up again

**[Chorus]**

And I'm losing all my senses every night

Darlin', don't you know that I would die, I'd die for you?

I don't want to want somebody new

Darlin', don't you know that I die every night for you?

Darlin', don't you know that I die every night for you?

I cry for you, I die for you
