As we wait patiently for lighter nights and warmer weather, fans have eagerly anticipated the release of Calvin Harris’s latest summer anthem, ‘Lovers In A Past Life’ (2024). And the wait has certainly been worth it.
It’s fair to say that his new single, once again in collaboration with Rag ‘N’ Bone Man, is just as good as their last.
The pair previously joined forces in 2019 to produce ‘Giant’, a powerful and uplifting dance anthem that has since become a staple in nightclubs around the world. This time, however, they’ve opted for a different vibe.

Another Hot Summer Anthem
‘Lovers In A Past Life’, as its name suggests, is all about a summer romance. It invokes an authentic, feel-good sensation.
Harris has single-handedly created a beat that feels almost like a wave, which is fitting for a track designed to accompany us on our holiday antics. With its relatable and romantic lyrics, you can already see the TikTok couple trends coming to life.
“As soon as the song starts, it tickles your eardrums and hits you right in the feels…”
With Rag ‘N’ Bone Man’s impressive vocals and Harris’s original beat, this single has everything we need to get us excited for summer. The song provides you with that dose of Vitamin D that we’ve all been lacking in the UK. As soon as the song starts, it tickles your eardrums and hits you right in the feels, just like that simmering heat you feel when you step off a plane.

The lyrics romanticise the little things in life. When Rag ‘n’ Bone Man sings, “slow dancing in the midnight glow,” you can’t help but picture yourself with that special someone abroad, dancing the night away while the sun sets behind you.
An Inevitable Chart-Topper
There’s no doubt that this hit new single will creep up the charts this summer.
Calvin Harris is the gift that keeps on giving, and this isn’t his first rodeo when it comes to cooking up a summer hit. He’s produced hot anthems every year for the past decade, including ‘One Kiss’ (2018) with Dua Lipa. I don’t know about you, but I’m here for it.
So, press play on Apple Music or Spotify, get the volume blasting, and let your hair down to fully embrace the summer vibes.
If it isn’t already, I know ‘Lovers In A Past Life’ is going to be a smash hit this summer.
