The track has been reworked by GRAMMY-nominated electronic producer, Baauer. It is Baauer’s second remix for the band, following 2017’s “In Cold Blood.” On top of the track, the original video has also been remixed as well, with the original video’s deepfake footage being twisted into new shapes.  Watch “U&ME (Baauer remix)” Listen to “U&ME (Baauer remix)” Watch/Listen to “U&ME” Pre-order/ Pre-save The Dream  “U&ME” was written during various soundchecks around the world. When the band got back to London and heard the recordings they knew it was one of their most dynamic recordings to date. Speaking on the process, Joe Newman says, “It gathered momentum on its own, it was best to just get out of its way. We were just there.” Elaborating on the meaning of “U&ME”, Gus Unger-Hamilton says, “It’s about being at a festival with your best friends, having a good time, togetherness, and the feeling in life that nothing could be any better than it is right now” The band are set to embark on a tour of North America in 2022, the tour includes shows at venues including New York City’s Madison Square Garden and the Staples Centre in Los Angeles. With more shows still to be announced, 2022 is set to be the band’s biggest touring year yet.
