"Waves" is a debut single by Australian singer songwriter Dean Lewis. Released in September 2016 as the lead single from his debut extended play Same Kind of Different (2017).
In an interview with Stack Magazine in May 2017, Lewis explained “A lot of people think it's about relationships, but it's more about how with every year [that] passes, life gets a little bit less exciting. I was in London a year ago and a few music things were happening, and I'm like “Why am I not really enjoying my life? Like, this is cool!” Then I remembered when I was 15 and you’d go to a house party and you’d be so excited, or going to the movies with your friends. Where has that feeling gone?”[1]
An acoustic version was released on 3 February 2017.[2]
Waves appeared in Episode 4 of Riverdale, series 1 and in Episode 12 of Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments, serie 2.
Music video
The music video for "Waves" was directed by Mick Jones and released on 20 October 2016.[3]
