Songfacts®:

• "Lovers in a Past Life" is a dance-pop single by Calvin Harris with vocals by English singer-songwriter Rag'n'Bone Man. It's their second collaboration, following their multi-platinum hit 2019 single " Giant," which won an Ivor Novello award for PRS for Music Most Performed Work.
• Rag'n'Bone Man sings of soulmates, past lives, and the ineffable sense of connection with someone special. Lines such as "Patience feels like I've been waiting for a lifetime" and "For all we know, these are familiar places" suggest a previously established bond between the two individuals. The chorus, with lyrics like "We were lovers in a past life, slow dancing in the midnight glow," reinforces the core theme of a deep connection that surpasses the constraints of time.
• Calvin Harris helmed "Lovers in a Past Life" with American producer Andrew Watt (Justin Bieber, Ozzy Osbourne, Post Malone, The Rolling Stones). Their collaborative production blends a sultry guitar, impactful kickdrum, and layers of synth with Rag'n'Bone Man's powerful and emotive vocals.
