Worth staying up all night for!
The wait is over! No more losin’ sleep while we wait for David to drop a new song on us – it’s HERE! A catchy tune about when a certain someone lives “rent free” in your head – I’m pretty sure we’ve all been there – now we have a song that captures those emotions perfectly.

Sleepless In Archuland
We’ve all been there – those restless nights when your thoughts keep racing and you can’t turn off your own mind no matter how many cups of Sleepy Time tea you drink!
David’s new song is a departure from the fun and breezy Be That For You – it’s the darker side of the relationships that didn’t quite work out and you’re left with a million thoughts of Why? What if? and the ever present What did I do wrong? I’m sure we’ve all lost a few winks thinking of things that “might have been” – searching for that elusive place where dreams can sometimes come true…
David gave us a sneak peek of the song with its intriguing neon sign signaling another sleepless night ahead.

After waiting up all night (see what I did there?) David’s new song finally dropped for everyone ’round the world to hear! We all raced to our iTunes or Spotify to purchase or download, then we spent the rest of the night listening to it on REPEAT!
Losin’ Sleep is out everywhere now! Go give it a listen and then hopefully get some sleep… I know it’s late for some of y’all right now 😂 https://t.co/mtC0U36ltq #LosinSleep pic.twitter.com/6BZ8YV3qKa

Car-aoke Time
We were then treated to a car-akoe performance with David looking a little sleepy – as I’m sure we ALL were after our late night listening sessions!

The Tik Tok Version:
@davidarchie Ive released a new song today yall called Losin Sleep. I hope you like it! Let me know what you think #losinsleep
Cardin gave David a shout out and thanked him for the opportunity to work on this song with him.
The gang’s all here!
For those of you who want to bop along to the song:
“Losin’ Sleep”
I been losing sleep over you
Nothing works for me no matter what I do
You been living rent-free in my head
Now I’m tossing, turning in my queen-sized bed
Maybe I was in too deep, that’s on me
You used to be the one that gave me peace, but
Now I’m losing sleep over you
Mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh
Another night, another week
Red eyes staring at a screen
All the stupid scrolling ain’t gonna help me close ’em
And I know it, yeah, I know it
So I turn off my phone and hit the melatonin
Turn the lights off on my nightstand, yeah, I’m hoping
That I can get some rest
But I won’t hold my breath
I been losing sleep over you
Nothing works for me no matter what I do
You been living rent-free in my head
Now I’m tossing, turning in my queen-sized bed
Maybe I was in too deep, that’s on me
You used to be the one that gave me peace, but
Now I’m losing sleep over you
Mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh
Now I’m losing my mind, my time
Stuck here thinking maybe girl you really were
Right to leave me, now it’s eating me alive
Hate being alone and too much melatonin
You won’t hit me back ’cause we ain’t even friend-zoning
Wish I could get some rest (yeah)
But I won’t hold my breath
I been losing sleep over you
Nothing works for me no matter what I do
You been living rent-free in my head
Now I’m tossing, turning in my queen-sized bed
Maybe I was in too deep, that’s on me
You used to be the one that gave me peace, but
Now I’m losing sleep over you
Mmh-mmh-mmh-mmh
Turn off the phone and hit the melatonin
Turn the lights off on my nightstand, yeah, I’m hoping
That I can get some rest
But I won’t hold my breath
I been losing my sleep over you
I been losing sleep over you
I gotta admit that this is not a sunshine and rainbows kind of song, but as he did with Therapy Sessions, he continues to share his struggles as well as his triumphs with us through song – I can’t wait to see what comes next!

Duet with Natasha!
All you OG Archies know that Natasha Bedingfield is one of David’s music “inspirations”, and after that amazing “meet cute” on Idol, we’ve all wished that the two could collaborate one day. Now, through the magic of Tik Tok, there is a duet (of sorts) that shows us how amazing a real life collab would be! Come on Natasha – give the public what it wants!
@davidarchie #duet with @natashabedingfield Wanted to share a little story of how Natasha Bedingfield gave me the motivation I needed to be an artist. 🙏
Throwback to the “Meet Cute”
Pictures Or It Didn’t Happen
Well IT HAPPENED BABY!! And we’ve got the RECEIPTS!
Ryan even told Natasha that David wanted to ask her to the prom – and she said if he asked her, she would go! Can you imagine if they got together to do a collab? It would be out of this world! *fingers crossed

Throwback to Nandito Ako Times
Ana Feleo posted birthday wishes to Kari on IG and shared some great pics from when David was filming Nandito Ako in the Philippines – what a wonderful time that was in Archuland! Still waiting for Nandito Ako II!
