About This Track

Released on 21st April 2017, 'Something Different' served as the title track of Why Don't We's sophomore EP, a five-song collection that marked the boyband's first commercial breakthrough. The song was written by Candice Pillay, Corbyn Besson, Daniel Seavey, Jack Avery, Jonah Marais, R8DIO, and Zach Herron. The track centres on a relationship that feels insulated from outside scrutiny, the group adopting a posture of confident remove. The chorus lands on a simple mantra about being on something different, whilst the verses sketch a dynamic where the couple's closeness makes them the subject of speculation. The pre-chorus acknowledges the noise and dismisses it in the same breath, the lyric suggesting a kind of telepathic ease between the pair. The production keeps things light and rhythmic, the vocal arrangement split across the five members in a way that foregrounds the group's harmonies without pushing any single voice too far forward. It's a pop track built for repetition, the hook designed to lodge itself quickly and stay there.

"Something Different" is a track by Why Don't We, from the album Something Different - EP, released 7th April 2017. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Something Different

[Verse 1: Daniel & Zach]

Look at us

We could paint the perfect picture

About us

From your head to toe, I'll fit you

They follow us

Yeah, we make 'em think it's fiction

They believe it, so I guess it must be real

[Pre-Chorus: Jack & Jonah]

I can read your mind

I know what you're thinking

I could spend my time

Feeling all the reasons

What they know about us

Doesn't make a difference

Baby, we got us

We on something different

[Chorus: Corbyn]

We on something, something, some

We on something different

We on something, something, some

We on something different

We on something, something, some

We on something different

We on something, something, some

We on something different

[Verse 2: Daniel & Zach]

In a rush

Even though we young, we flexin'

We fall in love

About a hundred times a day

Like it's not enough

Yeah, we make 'em think it's fiction

They believe it, so I guess it must be real

[Pre-Chorus: Jack & Jonah]

I can read your mind

I know what you're thinking

I could spend my time

Feeling all the reasons

What they know about us

Doesn't make a difference

Baby, we got us

We on something different

[Chorus: Corbyn]

We on something, something, some

We on something different

We on something, something, some

We on something different

We on something, something, some

We on something different

We on something, something, some

We on something different
