Flyte shares new song “I’m so Down” + New LP ‘Between You and Me’ out August 29; US Tour Dates on Sale!
May 30, 2025 BY Emma Orland
Today, beloved UK band Flyte unveils another cut from their forthcoming full-length album, Between You and Me. On “I’m so Down,” frontman Will Taylor says: “The song was written as an ode to the codependent people-pleaser. ‘I’m so down’ translates as ‘I’m up for it’. We wanted the song to be melodic and upbeat on the surface, but the delivery and subtext of the lyrics to imply a solemnity that comes as a result of wanting to say yes to everything, the weight that can be carried by always serving other people’s needs.”
With the help of producer Ethan Johns (Paul McCartney, Laura Marling), Flyte harness the spontaneity of his recording ethos: “It’s just one take, the first take, with no overdubs. You’re hearing the sound of the three of us reacting musically, and we wanted to preserve that humanity.” From the initial count-in heard on the song to the final hum of harmony, it almost feels like we’re sitting in the room with the band as they cut the track.
“I’m so Down” joins “Hurt People,” “Emily and Me” and “I’m Not There” which will appear on the new record, due out on August 29th via Nettwerk.
Flyte is also excited to bring their new music on the road to North America, the UK, and Europe! They’ll kick things off on September 10th at Concorde 2 in Brighton and conclude at the O2 Kentish Town Forum in London on September 26th. From there, Will and Nick will make a grand return to North America, playing their largest venues in the territory to date. From there, they will return to Europe, with routing through Switzerland, Germany, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, and France.

About Flyte:
After the success of their 2023 self-titled album, Flyte, the band has become known for their “vocal chemistry” (The Needle Drop), and musical “harmony” (Rolling Stone), as well as developing a tight-knit circle of creatives. Past collaborations include Laura Marling, Billie Marten, Madison Cunningham, Bombay Bicycle Club, The Staves, and Florence Pugh, as well as making fans of high-profile artists like Sigrid, Holly Humberstone, and more.
To make their fourth album, Between You and Me, Flyte—Will Taylor and Nick Hill—set out to return to something raw and instinctual. Just weeks before joining legendary producer Ethan Johns in his rural studio, the duo began writing at a small window table in Taylor’s North East London flat. They wanted to see what would happen if they didn’t overthink their songs, if they simply sang about their lives in the moment—candid reflections on love, fallibility, and staying vulnerable. They didn’t fuss over demos or arrangements; they just wanted to capture the feelings. They knew Johns thrived on intuition, so they let that sensibility guide them from the beginning.
The result, Between You And Me, is the most affecting and singular album in Flyte’s discography, a stirring and recognizable map of what it means to come of age as musicians, friends, and people. It suggests just how much one can grow, sprouting even from the darker corners of our existence.
Taylor and Hill have long aimed to make Flyte records feel emotionally complete, but Between You and Me doesn’t just check boxes—it feels lived in, like a series of diary entries set to harmony. These songs don’t just reflect who Flyte are now—they capture how they got here, moment by moment, with every chord and lyric a testament to trust, growth, and real-time reckoning.
