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.
Bet U Wish

And now you're falling on your front teeth
And I can see your skin a tint of green
Oh you'd wish you wouldn't, no
Oh you'd wish you wouldn't, no
I bet you wish you didn't touch her
See now you're making out you're so hurt
The way you made me feel is much worse
And now you wish you could reverse
Oh, you're way too late
And I was on this freaking train
And I saved you a place
You threw it back in my face
Everything is gone
For you I have nothing, absolutely nothing
But I bet you wish, I bet you wish
I bet you wish
I bet you wish, I bet you wish
I bet you wish yeah, it's all gone
Oh you wish we had something, we got nothing
But I bet you wish, I bet you wish
I bet you wish
I bet you wish, I bet you wish
I bet you wish but it's all gone
I think you understand you messed up
But now how dare you even mention love
Love is the last thing that you give to me
And don't you even think to lie
Don't you even think to lie
There are no words that you could ever say
To erase the hurt you send my way
After returning from recovery
I bet you wish that you were mine
Bet you wish that you were mine
Oh, you're way too late
And I was on this freaking train
And I saved you a place
You threw it back in my face
Everything is gone
For you I have nothing, absolutely nothing
But I bet you wish, I bet you wish
I bet you wish
I bet you wish, I bet you wish
I bet you wish yeah, it's all gone
Oh you wish we had something, we got nothing
But I bet you wish, I bet you wish
I bet you wish
I bet you wish, I bet you wish
I bet you wish but it's all gone
For you I have nothing
(for you I got nothing) absolutely nothing
Yeah it's all gone absolutely nothing
But I bet you wish
But I bet you wish, I bet you wish
I bet you wish
I bet you wish, I bet you wish
I bet you wish
The song "Bet U Wish" by Raye is about a person who was betrayed by their lover and now the lover regrets their actions. The chorus of the song repeats the line "But I bet you wish" and continues to express how the lover desires to have their ex-partner back but unfortunately, they are too late because the singer has moved on. The lyrics "Everything is gone for you I have nothing, absolutely nothing" teaches a lesson to the lover about how their actions led to the end of the relationship.
The first verse speaks about how the lover wishes they had kept the singer and did not cheat on them as they now see that the singer has moved on with their life. The second verse mocks the lover by revealing how they pretended to be hurt after cheating on the singer and now regrets their actions. The third verse conveys that the lover now understands how they messed up and apologizes for their actions. However, the singer is not willing to forgive them and move on.
Overall, the song is about how people often realize the value of someone only after they have lost them; but by then, it is too late to amend the relationship.
