Songfacts®:

  • "Melody" is a collaboration between the English producer Sigala and the songwriter Ida Martinsen Botten. The Norwegian singer-songwriter sings of a guy she's fallen hook, line and sinker for. They met a club, started dancing, and now out of a thousand songs, he's the only melody she wants to hear.
  • Sigala and Botten wrote "Melody" in the producer's London studio with T.I Jakke, Shaun Farrugia, Steve Manovski and YK Koi. They are all close friends that he's known for a long time.

    Botten previously collaborated with Sigala on his single with Becky Hill, "Heaven On My Mind," and with Manovski on "Give Me Your Love" and "Just Got Paid."
  • Sigala and the other songwriters set out to create a memorable melody and ended up using that concept as the basis of the lyrics. "It's all about meeting somebody whom you can't get out of your head," he said.
  • Sigala wanted "Melody" to have an "uplifting trance influence"' similar to his 2019 single "Wish You Well."
