Following the promotion of his proper debut single “MAKO“, released late last year, and the interesting track “DIVE“, released last month, he’s returns with another simple but effective production.
Showing once again, his unique potential with a magnificent voice, the singer delivers a delicious and minimalist production that is ideal for a good chill session.
YATES is currently working on his debut EP, scheduled to be released sometime this year.

Yates Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Meanwhile, I'll leave it up to
Walking myself out.
Maybe we can all jump in the water together
Blue sky, I wanna follow you.
I've done it all, became apparent
Suddenly, suddenly
Suddenly, suddenly
You are the magic, they all know it
All the stars and moon-like whisper
You are the pleasure that's got us going
The whole night long, echoes in the mornin'.
You are the magic, they all know it
All the stars and moon-like whisper
You are the pleasure that's got us going
The whole night long, echoes in the mornin'.
I spy with my little eye,
My prize and I don't know why
I've done it all, became apparent
Suddenly, suddenly
I've done it all, became apparent
Suddenly, suddenly
You are the magic, they all know it
All the stars and moon-like whisper
You are the pleasure that's got us going
The whole night long, echoes in the mornin'.
You are the magic, they all know it
All the stars and moon-like whisper
You are the pleasure that's got us going
The whole night long, echoes in the mornin'.
All came up with a perfect plan,
And we all fall down and go hand in hand.
And we all came up with a way to pretend,
That had so much because it came and it went.
Ohhh, ohhh haaa
You are the magic, they all know it
All the stars and moon-like whisper
You are the pleasure that's got us going
The whole night long, echoes in the mornin'.
You are the magic, they all know it
All the stars and moon-like whisper
You are the pleasure that's got us going
The whole night long, echoes in the mornin'.
The lyrics to Yates's song "Dive" suggest a yearning for freedom and adventure. The singer expresses their desire to follow the blue sky, indicating a longing for a life unencumbered by the obligations and responsibilities of daily life. They declare that they have done it all, suggesting that they have achieved much but remain unfulfilled. The repetition of "suddenly" emphasizes the moment of realization of this lack of fulfillment. The singer then shifts their focus to a greater power, declaring "You are the magic, they all know it." This suggests an acknowledgement of a higher force, perhaps a religious or spiritual one, that holds the key to true happiness.
The second half of the song explores the concept of pleasure and unity. The line "You are the pleasure that's got us going" suggests that the singer is finding enjoyment in their experiences, but this pleasure is not enough to sustain them. The repetition of "echoes in the morning" implies a sense of emptiness or regret that lingers long after the night's festivities end. The final lines of the song suggest a desire for connection and companionship, declaring that "we all fall down and go hand in hand." The singer recognizes that life is fleeting, and that the moments of joy and pleasure are fleeting as well, but they find solace in the idea of shared experience and camaraderie.
Overall, "Dive" is a song that explores the human desire for adventure, pleasure, and connection. It suggests that there is more to life than the routine and mundane, and that true happiness lies in embracing the unknown and taking risks.
