Nothing good ever happens after midnight, or so warns Marlon Williams’ recently released single “Don’t Go Back.”

From the New Zealand crooner’s forthcoming album, My Boy, the sultry track is full of slick grooves and glittery guitar strums paired with Williams’ velvety voice for a dance-inducing good time, whether you go back to the party or not.

“There are a lot of New Romantic influences in ‘Don’t Go Back,’” says Williams. “I love the songwriting and over-the-topness of bands like Duran Duran. I was too young to have a sense of it the first time around, but at least to the modern ear there’s a silliness to the pathos in that music that definitely had an influence on the tone of the record.”

Showed Me (How I Fell In Love With You)

You showed me how to do
Exactly what you do
How I fell in love with you
You walk into a room
And people fall for you
How I wanna be like you
Ohh, it’s true
I’m gonna be like you
Everybody laughs
At all the things you say
It makes me wanna cry
Whenever you’re away
The way you drive a car
With all the windows down
They always say your name
Even when you’re not around
Seasons only change (ohh)
It’s always been the same
You showed me how to do
Exactly what you do
How I fell in love with you
You walk into a room
And people fall for you
How I wanna be like you
Ohh, it’s true
I’m gonna be like you
