Following last year’s I WANT YOU MORE THAN ANYBODY WANTS YOU EP, De’Wayne has released his first new music of 2025.

Entitled highway robbery, the track “was inspired by a heartfelt connection with my partner,” he reveals. “She didn’t literally steal my heart – but I left the door wide open for it. I wrote this song as a poem first, and it evolved into this rock’n’roll soul influence. It feels good to be locked in!”

Stream highway robbery below, and watch the music video from 6pm GMT.
