MULTI-PLATINUM ARTIST
TYLER SHAW RELEASES NEW SINGLE
PAST LIFE
LISTEN HERE
July 5, 2024 – Today, multi-platinum artist, music producer, and actor Tyler Shaw continues his string of recent, assured releases with his brand-new track “Past Life.” LISTEN HERE. Watch the lyric video HERE.
The song, co-written by Tyler, Sean Fischer (Céline Dion, Banners, Preston Pablo), and James Bryan (Drake, Nelly Furtado, Shawn Mendes), and produced by Sean Fischer, is an ode to those first heady moments of connecting with someone, and feeling like you’ve known each other your whole life. “Past Life” is a joyful celebration of love – experiencing that “same high at the same time” with someone who you just know – you’re standing in the present and get that “feeling like we’ve been here before.” LISTEN HERE.
Sonically, “Past Life” echoes its lyrics – with slinky 80s-inspired synth and bass lines that propel the song forward to the hook-heavy chorus, which is a celebration of good vibes and falling in love: “Thank God for the past life.”
This song is an undeniable pop jam, and Tyler wrote it to be experienced joyfully. “I really wanted to capture those first feelings of meeting your person, and that feeling like you’re sort of floating in a happy daze,” he says. Is it summer love? Or the rest of your life? It hardly matters when the summer song is this undeniable.
