“The song represents for me the next step in my new sound with ’No Fear No Tears’ setting the precedent of what’s to come. I decided to write something vibey that could get people to move and dance. One of my favourites I’ve ever written.”
Written by Lee, and co-produced and mixed with DeeGraaff productions, ‘With or Without You’ was inspired by a catchy groove line Lee had written. The single itself is defined by Lee as “a tongue-in-cheek kind of way of saying that I’ll be fine without someone by just dancing the night away.”
