Dermot Kennedy has released his new single "Power Over Me."
The Irish singer-songwriter wrote the anthemic cut alongside Scott Harris and Toronto-based producer Koz, who's worked with big-name acts like Kendrick Lamar, Nicki Minaj, Dua Lipa, and Meek Mill.
"The whole song started with just that one idea, that sole lyric of ‘you've got that power over me,'" Kennedy explained. "The idea of being totally bewitched by somebody, to be totally under their spell, in a really good way. Just totally enamored."
"Power Over Me" arrives just a week before Kennedy kicks off his Keep the Evenings Long Tour. The 42-date trek will begin Oct. 26 in Washington, D.C., and will includes stops in Toronto, Brooklyn, Atlanta, and Seattle, before concluding Nov. 19 in Los Angeles.
