The couple had been making covers for several years and posted them on a weekly basis under the title "De Minuut" on their Facebook page. Their 2016 cover of The Chainsmokers "Don't Let Me Down" went viral after The Chainsmokers shared the version. In September 2017, the duo released their first EP, entitled Glass House Sessions, with five covers on it. In November 2018, the duo released their very first own self-written song "Als het avond is" (meaning When it's Evening). The single topped the Dutch Top 40 and became platina. It was followed up by "Blauwe dag" (meaning Blue Day) that reached the number 4 position. On September 27, 2019, their first album entitled Gedeeld door ons (meaning Shared by Us) was released in both the Netherlands and Belgium and entered in both countries the charts in the number 2 position.

Don't Let Me Down
Suzan & Freek Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Right now I need a miracle
Hurry up now, I need a miracle
Stranded, reaching out
I call your name but you're not around
I say your name but you're not around
I need you, I need you, I need you right now
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
I think I'm losing my mind now
It's in my head, darling I hope
That you'll be here when I need you the most
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down, down, down
Don't let me down, don't let me down, down, down
Running out of time
I really thought you were on my side
But now there's nobody by my side
I need you, I need you, I need you right now
Yeah, I need you right now
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
I think I'm losing my mind now
It's in my head, darling I hope
That you'll be here, when I need you the most
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down, down, down...
Oh, I think I'm losing my mind now, yeah
Oh, I think I'm losing my mind now, yeah
I need you, I need you, I need you right now
Yeah, I need you right now
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
I think I'm losing my mind now
It's in my head, darling I hope
That you'll be here, when I need you the most
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
Don't let me down
Yeah, don't let me down...
The lyrics of Suzan & Freek's song "Don't Let Me Down" express a sense of desperation and urgency for the presence of another person's support. The first verse speaks about hitting a wall and the need for a miracle that would help them out of this situation. The singer feels stranded and reaches out to the person they call out to. The chorus repeats the phrase, "I need you right now," and pleads with the addressee to not let them down. They are afraid of losing their mind and want reassurance that the other person will be there for them when they need them the most.
The second verse builds upon this plea, as they feel that time is running out and they need someone by their side. They emphasize their need again, for the other person to not let them down, and express their fear of losing their mind more explicitly. The song ends by repeating the chorus and emphasizing the importance of not being let down by the other person.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and emotional dependence on another person. They highlight the importance of having someone to rely on during times of distress and the anxiety that can arise when that support is not present.
