DAYVID Collaborates with Industry Elites for Comeback Single ‘Always The Friend’

In 2020, emerging pop sensation DAYVID was on the cusp of breakout success. With his unique blend of Pop, RnB, and electronic vibes making waves on commercial radio and a tour on the horizon, he was ready to take the music world by storm. His music, a fresh and exciting fusion of genres, resonated with listeners across the globe, earning him a dedicated fanbase eagerly awaiting his rise to stardom. However, the global pandemic halted his momentum abruptly, and like many artists, DAYVID was forced into an unexpected hiatus. Tours were canceled, studios closed, and the music industry faced an unprecedented challenge. But despite the setback, DAYVID, gifted with resilience and powered by unwavering dedication, has risen from the ashes with an intoxicating new single, “Always The Friend,” signaling a triumphant return to music.

San Diego-born DAYVID, now 26, first captivated listeners with his debut song in 2017. His wide-ranging vocals and signature sound, deeply rooted in the Evergreen American pop culture yet fused with the nuances of a vast spectrum of influences from artists including Tears for Fears, Chris de Burgh, Prince, George Michael, Peter Gabriel, Justin Timberlake, and Bruno Mars, earned him millions of streams. The young artist’s ability to seamlessly weave together elements from these iconic musicians while maintaining his own distinctive style set him apart from his contemporaries. His 2022 album “Rebirth” captured his struggle and resurgence, chronicling his journey through the challenges of the pandemic and his determination to keep creating, setting the stage for his resurgence in 2024 with “Always The Friend.”

The song layers DAYVID’s sensitive vocals and a driving chant, carving a powerful narrative on the intricacies of friendship. The lyrics delve into the complexities of being a constant support for someone navigating the trials and tribulations of love and life. “Always The Friend” invites listeners into DAYVID’s depth, where music inspires, excites and moves your mind, body, and soul. The song’s universal theme and heartfelt delivery create an instant connection with listeners, showcasing DAYVID’s ability to craft music that resonates on a deep, personal level.

“Here you go yeah, calling again
Say your needing, needing a friend
And I’m always the friend
Here you go yeah, calling again
Say your needing, needing a friend
And I’m always the friend”

Evolving from a delicate piano melody into a pop anthem pulsating with emotion, “Always The Friend” stands as a testament to DAYVID’s resilience and his dedication to his craft. The single was shaped with the contributions from industry talents such as Ameerah, Zac Poor, Johnny Powers Severin, and Grammy-nominee Morgan Taylor Reid, each bringing their unique expertise to elevate the track. With mixing by Josh Florez and mastering at Becker Mastering (Pasadena, CA) providing a polished finish, the song showcases the collaborative spirit of the music industry and the power of artistic synergy.

Discussing the inspirations behind the emotive single, DAYVID says, “I wrote ‘Always The Friend’ in 2017 and knew it had potential, but it took a collaboration with Morgan Taylor Reid to fully realize its power. It’s a song about the yearning for a friend who’s looking for love in all the wrong places – a sentiment that everyone can relate to it on some level at some point throughout their lives.” The song’s origins and its journey to fruition highlight DAYVID’s commitment to his vision and his willingness to invest time and effort into perfecting his craft.
