A native of Reading, England, Lewis first became interested in music in his teens and played in several bands before he started experimenting with remixing tracks. Influenced by the introspective pop of Bon Iver and James Blake, as well as the club-ready hip-hop of artists like Common, Timbaland, and the Neptunes, Lewis began posting his own evocative, moody tracks online. He quickly built a loyal following, and eventually nabbed a residency DJ'ing at London's Chibuku Club.
In 2014, his remix of Jessie Ware's song "You & I (Forever)" caught the attention of Ware's label, PMR Records, who then signed him. A year later, he released his debut EP, Shivers. In 2016, Lewis delivered his sophomore EP, Yours, which included the track "Holding Back," featuring Gallant. Lewis' 2017 output consisted of the Toulouse-aided single "Times We Had" and the solo track "Smart Aleck Kill." He returned in January 2018 with "Aura," a bright yet low-key track featuring vocalist J Warner. The song appeared on the disco-influenced Dusk, which kicked off a trilogy of club-centric EPs slated to appear under the combined full-length album title of Dusk, Dark, Dawn. Meanwhile, he continued releasing singles including 2019's "Blue" and the Clairo collaboration "Throwaway." ~ Matt Collar

This kind of love
This crazy feeling I just can't make it up
Making love to you and you just ate it up
Don't let it fade, pup
Don't let it fade
Cuz even when I snap back out of it
Now I can't do anything but fall in love
But fall in love
In love, in love, in love
In love, in love, in love
In love, in love, in love
In love, in love, in love
In love, in love, in love
Every time you touch me, I
Get the fever
It's how I know that you're the one
The only one
My dreamer
The only one, yeah
Fever dreamer
Fever dreamer
Fever dreamer
Fever dreamer
Can you come over
Can we get to the business
Let me console you
Tell you everything you're missing
How did she know?
Voulez avoir these carrots
Can't move 'til you pay me (nah nigga can't play me)
Talking shit from across the club
Wrist watch nigga try your luck (try your luck)
I was feelin' comatose
Nothing makes sense
I hit the floor, then I hit the drink
Caught them all then I start to think
Gotta figure this out, figure this out
I hit the streets and they show me love
Afterparty from the club
I hit the streets and they show me love
Afterparty I'm throwing dubs
Every time you touch me, I
Get the fever
It's how I know that you're the one
The only one
My dreamer, yeah
The only one, yeah
Fever dreamer
Fever dreamer

They fantasize about a passionate connection with someone, recounting the sensation of making love and feeling completely consumed by the intensity of the experience. The singer pleads for this feeling not to fade, acknowledging that even when they snap back to reality, they still can't help but fall in love.

It seems like there may be some elements of manipulation or power dynamics at play, with the singer mentioning being paid and warning others against trying their luck.
