Be Your Man

Rhys Lewis is a songwriter born in Oxford who moved to London at nineteen to study music and went on to sign with Decca. Be Your Man came out as a single in October 2019 and was later reworked for his debut album Things I Chose to Remember, released in July 2020. The lyric is aimed at someone still caught up in a past relationship, and it asks for the chance to be the one who stays. Couples who took a while to find each other often hear their own story in it, and Lewis sings it with a warmth that keeps the slow pace steady. It works well for a quiet first dance that needs nothing grand.
