SUMMER Lyrics – Corbyn Besson & Jeremih | from “HEAD FIRST”

Corbyn Besson’s chasing eternal sunshine on “SUMMER,” his steamy collab with Jeremih that’s already got that replay itch, now anchoring his debut EP HEAD FIRST—dropping January 16, 2026, via independent release, like a midwinter escape you didn’t know you craved.

This one’s a sultry slow-burner, blending smooth R&B grooves with pop polish and those subtle trap undercurrents from producers Tenroc, Hit-Boy, and Mally Mall—think hazy synths that mimic a beach bonfire haze, crisp hi-hats snapping like waves on sand. It’s got Corbyn’s earnest croon trading verses with Jeremih’s velvet swagger, all wrapped in a sound that’s equal parts nostalgic boyband heart and grown-folks flirtation.

Thematically, it’s that classic summer spell: the push-pull of a fling that feels fated but fleeting, calling out the “don’t say I’ll hit you back” games while admitting “I know you do what you wanna.” It’s vulnerable without the sap—regret wrapped in rhythm, like spotting an ex across a crowded rooftop party. Dropped as a single back in September, it buzzed on TikTok with sunset edit stitches, and Corbyn’s Insta live teases had fans decoding those “feels like every summer” loops as diary-level real talk.

HEAD FIRST marks Corbyn’s solo launchpad, a tight six-track dive into head-over-heels chaos that retools three buzz singles—“Tied Up,” this “SUMMER” heat, and the starry “Blink” ft. TWICE’s TZUYU—alongside fresh cuts like “Ruin Me,” “Kiss,” and “Hypnotized.” No grand concept, just unfiltered snapshots of love’s wild ride, clocking in around 20 minutes of ear-candy confessions produced with Trevor Muzzy’s edge and A&R from Brandon Riester. It’s his way of flipping the script on romance, from group-harmony safety nets to raw, collab-fueled risks that scream independence.

Corbyn’s stepping out strong at 28, post-Why Don’t We’s 2022 hiatus leaving him to remix that pop pedigree into something edgier—think sold-out acoustic sets in LA coffee shops last fall, viral covers racking streams, and this EP as his “watch me now” flex. Teaming with vets like Jeremih (the king of late-night anthems) shows he’s building bridges, not burning them, evolving from heartthrob backup to frontman with bite. Fans are already flooding his comments with pre-save screenshots, hyped for that TZUYU crossover glow-up.
