Dive into the bittersweet waves of “With Rob As My Witness,” a standout cut from Lovejoy’s highly anticipated album One Simple Trick, set to drop on October 3, 2025 via Anvil Cat Records. As the UK indie-rock quartet – fronted by Wilbur Soot, with Joe Goldsmith, Ash Kabosu, and Mark Boardman – gears up for their next chapter, this track delivers their signature mix of sharp lyricism and emotional heft. Fresh off their 2023 EP Wake Up & It’s Over and a whirlwind of sold-out tours, Lovejoy channels a post-Cause for Concern glow-up, trading raw angst for a polished yet vulnerable sound that’s got fans on Reddit and X buzzing with early snippet reactions.
The song’s dreamy guitars and pulsing drums frame a story of nostalgia and letting go, with lines like “Sink yourself into me, like a drug into a sickness” hitting that sweet spot of longing and release. It’s a sonic nod to their indie roots, layered with the Atlantic Ocean imagery and cheeky “Big Man” references that tie into the album’s arc of wrestling with personal highs and lows. Compared to their earlier anthems, “With Rob As My Witness” feels like a reflective pause, echoing the vibe of tracks like “Flicker” while setting the stage for One Simple Trick’s deeper dive into self-awareness. Whether it’s the soaring chorus or the instrumental break’s quiet pull, this one’s a testament to Lovejoy’s knack for crafting indie heart-punches that stick with you. Dive into the With Rob As My Witness lyrics below and unpack its wistful drift. Don’t miss other One Simple Trick tracks like Pay & Display for more of Lovejoy’s indie-rock magic.

Lyrics of With Rob As My Witness by Lovejoy
[Verse 1]
Sink Yourself Into Me
Like A Drug Into A Sickness
Nostalgia Guarantee
The Sentimental Little Weakness
[Pre-Chorus]
By A Stroke Of Lack Of Focus
I’m Back In Your Old Direction
I Was Growing Too Tired Of The Apogee
[Chorus]
And I Don’t Mind, You Can Keep That Stereo
And I Don’t Mind, We Can Leave It At A Wishlist
Please Be Kind, You Know The Big Man’s Got Your Vote
When Comes The Time That Rob’s Your Only Witness
[Verse 2]
There’s No Upsettin’ Me
There’s Little Life Left In The Sea Bed
Lept From Chord To The Key
And Drop Directly In The Deep End, End, End, End, Oh
[Pre-Chorus]
On The Coast Of Atlantic Ocean
I’m Back In Your Ol’ Direction
Swimmin’ Only In Spite Of The Apathy
[Chorus]
And I Don’t Mind, You Can Keep That Stereo
And I Don’t Mind, We Can Leave It At A Wishlist
Please Be Kind, You Know The Big Man’s Got Your Vote
When Comes The Time That Rob’s Your Only Witness
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
And I Don’t Mind, You Can Keep That Stereo
And I Don’t Mind, We Can Leave It At A Wishlist
Just Please Be Kind, You Know The Big Man’s Got Your Vote
When Comes The Time That Rob’s Your Only Witness
[Outro]
You Know Rob’s Your Only Witness
Oh, Rob’s Your Only Witness
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
