Australian singer-songwriter Dean Lewis released a new song “How Do I Say Goodbye” on August 31, 2022.
The song is the third single off of his upcoming sophomore album “The Hardest Love”, following “Looks Like Me” and “Hurtless”.
It was written by Dean Lewis and Jon Hume. Produced by Dean Lewis, Ed Holloway, Nick Atkinson and Jon Hume.
The accompanying music video was directed by Sean Loaney, who is Dean Lewis' brother.
He wrote the song for his father, who he got diagnosed with cancer.
Dean Lewis shared on social media, “This is for anyone who's had to say goodbye to someone they love. A few years ago, my dad was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. The doctors gave him a 25% chance of living past a year. He had always been my best friend and the person I looked up to the most, so I wrote him this song.”- He continued, “I remember the moment so vividly a little while ago in nashville…. I sang the chorus into the microphone, took off my headphones and couldn't believe what I was hearing back from the speakers! The lyrics perfectly explained what I had felt, and it was an incredibly emotional moment. The vocal you hear on the chorus now is what I heard then! I don't think I'll ever write a song as good or meaningful as this one again… although I won't stop trying. I am consciously aware that these songs appear once every couple of years. It was an incredibly emotional song to write for me, I broke down a bunch of times. I knew it was special! I wrote this song about my dad when he got diagnosed with cancer. And I was luckily enough to show him this song as he is now in remission!!! (He said he loves the song but can't listen to it more than once 🤣)”
The new album comprises 10-track and is set to be released on October 7, 2022. It is his first album in three years. - source : Apple Music
