RAYE’s debut EP 'Welcome To The Winter' was released in 2014 and was comprised of predominantly R&B sounds. After signing with Polydor Records, RAYE had her breakthrough by featuring on the 2016 singles; "By Your Side" by Jonas Blue and "You Don't Know Me" by Jax Jones. The latter, co-written by RAYE herself, would peak at number three on the UK Singles Chart. Both songs were certified platinum or higher by the BPI, and marked a shift in RAYE’s career both commercially and sonically. After releasing the 'Second' EP in 2016, RAYE released "I, U, Us" as the lead single alongside a Charli XCX directed music video. This marked the first collaboration of several between the British songwriters. RAYE later co-wrote XCX's song "After the Afterparty" and appeared on a remix version, as well as featuring on the track "Dreamer" from her 2017 mixtape 'Number 1 Angel'. RAYE was short-listed for the BBC Music Sound of... award for 2017 and was named in third place. Later in the year, RAYE released the platinum certified hit "Decline" featuring Mr. Eazi, which would serve as the lead single from her 'Side Tape' EP which followed in May 2018. In October 2018, RAYE embarked on her own headlining tour, visiting a number of cities around the UK and Ireland.
After releasing multiple singles in 2019 and 2020, RAYE’s debut mini-album, 'Euphoric Sad Songs' was released on 20 November 2020. The project featured the top 10 hit "Secrets" with Regard as well as "Regardless" with Rudimental. In early 2021, RAYE released the single "Bed" with Joel Corry and David Guetta. The song would peak at number three on the UK Singles Chart, becoming RAYE’s highest charting single as a lead artist on the chart. Later in the year, RAYE took to social media to reveal that her record label, Polydor Records, has been withholding her debut album for several years. Following the statements, RAYE disclosed in July that she is now officially an independent artist.
RAYE was brought up in a musical family - her parents met at church - both of them musicians in the parish, and her musical heritage goes right back to her Grandfather, who was a songwriter and musician in his own right. Since the age of 10, she's been writing her own music, slowly developing all the time to become the artist she is today. Along the way, RAYE has become confidently adept at various different instruments including the cello, flute, and piano, alongside honing her production skills (and learning to play the guitar). Music has always been a huge part of RAYE’s life. Brought up on the classic soul/jazz maestros of the 40's and 50's like Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole etc - this is where her love for songwriting and melody began. Since then her influences, have aligned with the times, citing Drake, and her all time hero Lauryn Hill as huge sources of inspiration.
BED
Raye Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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)
In Raye's song BED, the singer is feeling lonely and up in her feelings at 9:05 in the evening. She can't get enough of the person she's singing to and calls them, despite having work early in the morning. Raye sings about wanting to be with this person, even though she knows it might be something she regrets in the morning. She explains that even though she has a bed, she'd rather be in theirs, and she'll do whatever it takes to make it happen. Raye mentions how she sleeps on the left side of the bed, but she'll move over for them. She doesn't care about losing sleep because she's too busy rocking with this person.
The lyrics of BED showcase the pull of desire and the willingness to throw caution out the window for a night with someone you're drawn to. It represents the conflict between what we want to do and what we should do, where the pull of the former can feel overwhelming or even haunting. Raye ponders how the hard route is the one that suits her body better, but she can't resist the person calling her. The repeated chorus underscores the idea that Raye needs her lover's love, and they need hers too. Ringing her phone is the way to avoid being on their own, and it seems that Raye is ready to accommodate them in any way she can.
