Leona Lewis & Avicii: "Collide" (2011)

"Collide" is a song performed by British singer-songwriter Leona Lewis from her upcoming third studio album, Glass Heart (2011). The song features Swedish DJ Avicii, who wrote the track along with Simon Jeffes, Arash Pournouri, Autumn Rowe and Sandy Vee, the latter who also produced it.

The song interpolates elements from "Perpetuum Mobile" by Penguin Cafe Orchestra. It is set to be released on September 4, 2011 as the lead single from Lewis's currently untitled upcoming third studio album. "Collide" premiered on Scott Mills' BBC Radio 1 show, The Scott Mills Show, on 15 July 2011 in the United Kingdom.

Upon the song's radio premiere, several media outlets reported that its instrumental was very similar to a club song by Avicii, who later claimed that "Collide" featured the same instrumental and that Lewis's record label, Syco, had "stolen" his idea without his permission.


- Lyrics:

I’ll pick you up when you’re down
Be there when no one’s around
When you’re in unfamiliar places
Count on me through life’s changes

I’m in tune with how you feel
Everything bout this is real
When you’re in unfamiliar places
Count on me through life’s changes

You’re all I want, yeah
I know you’re the one, yeah
You’re all I want, yeah
I know you’re the one, yeah

Crash into me
At full speed
Crash into me
We can collide
We can collide

Crash into me
At full speed
We can collide
We can collide
We can collide
We can collide

When you’re in unfamiliar places
Count on me through life’s changes

Know that you’re never alone
In me you can find a home
When you’re in unfamiliar places
Count on me through life’s changes

You’re all I want, yeah (yeah)
You’re all I want (oh), yeah (yeah)
You’re all I want, yeah (you are the one)
I know you’re the one, yeah (you are)

Crash into me
At full speed
We can collide
We can collide
We can collide
We can collide

Crash into me
We can collide
