  1. Hey, I'm unique.
  2. Crewdson and the song I chose to analyze this week
  3. is Ride With Me by pink sweats.
  4. Before I jump into analyzing the song, I'm going to
  5. give you a little bit of background information on who
  6. pink sweats is.
  7. So his real name is David Boden, and he's an
  8. American singer songwriter from Philadelphia.
  9. His music is kind of a mix of different genres,
  10. Um, R and B um, pop folk and a little
  11. bit of soul.
  12. Ah, you probably have heard a song.
  13. Honesty. It got really popular after its release hit two
  14. million streams in under eight weeks, which is pretty impressive,
  15. Um, and and his career.
  16. He's released to eat Peas, Volume one and Volume two.
  17. So I chose a song Ride With Me, which is
  18. released by David's record label, Atlantic Records, on April 10th
  19. 2020. That same day, Atlantic Records YouTube channel posted the
  20. lyric video for the song, and David posted the official
  21. audio on his YouTube channel.
  22. Besides those two videos, I haven't really seen um, covers
  23. or remixes of the song, but I hope those start
  24. popping up soon.
  25. Ah, the publishers involved and ride with Me are from
  26. Artist Publishing Group and Sony, a TV Harmony Ah Young
  27. Hurt Entertainment was also mentioned as a publisher.
  28. But on Lee on one website, no other websites really
  29. mentioned them on, and I couldn't find a lot of
  30. information on that company, so I just kind of left
  31. them off the slide.
  32. The writers of the song are Penny Weeks and Ryan
  33. David Hurt.
  34. So Ryan David Hurt has helped write songs for Two
  35. chains and Bobby V and a bunch of other different
  36. people. Penny Weeks, however, has barely any information online about
  37. themselves or any previous songs they worked on, which is
  38. kind of sketchy.
  39. But it leads me to believe that that's an alias
  40. of some sort.
  41. And it might even be David's song writing Alias.
  42. I don't know why that zooming in anyways, So the
  43. highest ride with me was ever rained was on April
  44. 17th at number 71 in the Korean charts, Um, which
  45. isn't great, especially considering his past success with honesty.
  46. Actually, on April 17th that same day, that ride with
  47. me was number 71 in the Korean charts, Honesty, which
  48. came out two whole years prior still ranked higher than
  49. that song at Number 47.
  50. So I think it's kind of interesting how well, honestly
  51. didn't its first few weeks.
  52. And it's continuing, continuing success like two years down the
  53. line. But Ride With Me is kind of struggling to
  54. find the same success.
  55. It's struggling to gather that, like excitement on popularity, that
  56. honesty did.
  57. So maybe releasing the song during the Cove in 19
  58. Quarantine didn't go as well as eight Hope.
  59. I don't really know, but I hope more people start
  60. listening to the song is It's pretty Good.
  61. Um, Ride With Me had 3784 streams on Pandora this
  62. week, which is his fifth most stream song out of
  63. the nine songs, That's on Pandora, which is not great,
  64. Um, but he actually has more editorial Spotify playlists in
  65. Apple or Amazon music, which is pretty good.
  66. I think he has, like, 20 editorial Spotify playlists.
  67. Um so for social media and next big Sound claims
  68. that David has a strong audience engagement with most of
  69. his span demographic being younger women.
  70. Um, so they rated him very highly on fan interaction
  71. on Twitter and instagram.
  72. Um, he even tweeted his number a few weeks ago
  73. so fans could text him.
  74. He's very involved with his fans.
  75. Um, and as you can see, he has plenty of
  76. followers and subscribers on many platforms on.
  77. And I'm assuming his fallen will grow as he continues
  78. to release more music.
  79. Um, I think for an up and coming artist, he's
  80. doing really well right now.
  81. Um, so I do think it's interesting that ride with
  82. me kind of hit a little bump in the road.
  83. Um, but I hope to see, um, him continue to
  84. release more music.
  85. Um, and yeah, it was really interesting to see all
  86. the different people involved.
  87. There's, ah, lot more people involved than you would think
  88. in just one song.
  89. Um, so this is really interesting to do.
  90. And I hope you learned a little bit about this
  91. song. Um, and that's my now sonnet.
  92. So thanks for watching
