“Down for You” by Cosmo's Midnight and Ruel

Yesteryear, the second studio album from Australian electronic duo Cosmo's Midnight, yielded its fourth single on 31 January 2020: "Down for You", sung with fellow Australian Ruel. The partnership started onstage back in 2018, when the duo brought Ruel out as a guest vocalist in their Groovin the Moo set, his first festival appearance, and that impromptu collab left them sure they had to write together.

It took another year for the timing to work, but once they were in the room the song came fast, essentially finished that same day with some back-and-forth afterward to polish the details. The idea was doing things you'd rather not for someone you like, with Bobby Caldwell's "What You Won't Do" as the touchstone, and Ruel said it practically wrote itself. It reached number 9 on New Zealand's Hot Singles chart.
