songs where the chorus line ends in tonight

Beyond the superficial, however, the chorus of “For Tonight” is borrowed almost note-for-note directly from Sam Smith. This song’s most egregious offense, however, is probably its striking similarity to Sam Smith’s 2014 hit single “Stay with Me.” The records are similar in composition for example, both employ emotional singing over poignant piano accompaniment. But Giveon has specifically referenced these exact ideas in past records, making their recurrence feel lazy and uninspired. In the earlier track, Giveon included lyrics such as, “Is my secret safe? / Safe with just you and me,” “We both know it's wrong,” and, “Look in my eyes / Can you find the lies?” Now, in “For Tonight,” he declares, “And secret, secret, both gotta keep it,” “Even though it's wrong to lie with you,” and, “'Cause all I wanna do is lie, with you.”Īdmittedly, these are common tropes in heartbreak and love songs. Thematically, however, the track is trite, recycling material from his previous song “Favorite Mistake” about infidelity and the ensuing guilt. The instrumentation consists of simple but longing piano chords, with Giveon delivering a decent vocal performance in his characteristically rich baritone. Its two verses and chorus form a basic but reliable structure, one that Giveon has deployed in much of his music. Structurally, the song is boilerplate pop. Unfortunately, it doesn’t really deliver. His new track, “For Tonight,” is the first single off of his upcoming debut album.

Riding the waves of his Grammy-nominated debut EP “Take Time,” LA-based R&B artist Giveon dropped a new single for the first time since his song “Peaches” with Justin Bieber topped the Billboard charts over the summer.
