## Music Video

**"BED"** (stylized in all uppercase) is a song by Joel Corry, RAYE & David Guetta. It was released as a single on February 26, 2021, through Perfect Havoc and Asylum Records UK.

## Background

In an interview with the Official Charts Company, Corry explained that the creation of the song started in summer 2020 during a studio session with singer-songwriter Janée "Jin Jin" Bennett. After listening to demos recorded by Raye, he proceeded to contact the singer via Instagram, saying "she told me that she wrote the idea with David Guetta. I got in contact with David and he was happy for me to work on it with Raye. Me and Raye hit the studio together and developed the rest of the song. Fast forward eight months and we are ready to release 'Bed' to the world".
Prior to the release, Corry revealed, "I've put so much hard work and love into it and I'm so lucky to be able to collaborate with amazing talents like Raye and the legend, David Guetta. I'm just so excited for the world to hear it."
The single was announced on February 18, 2021, with each artist posting a picture of themselves lying in bed.

## Composition

"Bed" was described as a "piano house" track with a "punchy and upbeat drop". The song sees Raye commanding "attention, delivering the track's flirtatious yet defiant lyrics with a sophistication and sass that only she can".

## Lyrics

I got a bed, but I'd rather be in yours, yours

9:05 in the evening

I'm all up in my feelings

I'm calling your phone 'cause I can't get enough

And I got work in the morning

Early, early in the morning

But who needs sleep when we're loving it up

Oh, and why'd I gotta do this the hard way?

My body wants to be in your arms, babe, baby

Something I'll regret in the morning

But I just can't resist when you're calling

I got a bed, but I'd rather be in yours tonight

I got a bed, but I'd rather be in (yours, yours, yours)

That's what I say when I call you on the phone tonight

I got a bed, but I'd rather be in yours

You know I sleep on the left side

If you sleep on the left side

I'll move to the right, yeah, I'll do it for you, oh oh

And I got work in the morning

Early, early in the morning

But who needs sleep when I'm rockin' with you

Oh, and why'd I gotta do this the hard way?

My body wants to be in your arms, babe, baby

Something I'll regret in the morning

But I just can't resist when you're calling

I got a bed, but I'd rather be in yours tonight

I got a bed, but I'd rather be in (yours, yours, yours)

That's what I say when I call you on the phone tonight

I got a bed, but I'd rather be in yours

I got a bed, but I'd rather be in yours tonight

I got a bed, but I'd rather be in (yours, yours, yours)

That's what I say when I call you on the phone tonight

I got a bed, but I'd rather be in yours

Ooh

Know I need your love

Know I need your love

Yeah

Ooh

Know I need your love

Know I need your love

Been way too long on the phone right now

What you saying, wanna roll right now

If you don't wanna be on your own right now

Ring my phone 'cause

I got a bed, but I'd rather be in yours tonight

But I'd rather be in (yours, yours, yours)

Oh-whoa

I got a bed, but I'd rather be in yours tonight

I got a bed, but I'd rather be in (yours, yours, yours)

That's what I say when I call you on the phone tonight

I got a bed, but I'd rather be in yours

Been way too long on the phone right now

What you saying, wanna roll right now

If you don't wanna be on your own right now

Ring my phone 'cause

I got a bed, but I'd rather be in yours tonight

I got a bed, but I'd rather be in (yours, yours, yours)

## Critical reception

In her review for *Billboard*, Krystal Rodriguez wrote, "Catchy and entirely relatable, 'Bed' has summer 2021 written all over it." Ben Beaumont-Thomas of *The Guardian* found it "no less of an earworm" than Corry's previous single "Head & Heart". He described it as "softer, with gorgeous cosmic-disco detailing" and "a climactic drop that lands with devastating sweetness on the offbeat."
