Draper has officially returned, and his new single “I Been Thinking Bout You” is proof that some comebacks are worth the wait. Released on September 5th, 2025, the UK electronic producer reminds us exactly why his name has carried weight in the scene for years. Known for his sun-soaked synths and smooth, rolling production (a style once praised by Billboard), Draper leans back into his strengths while also finding new ways to expand his sound.
The track is a lush fusion of pop, electronic, and dance, built around the universal theme of longing. It’s dreamy but grounded—painting the feeling of being consumed by someone who never quite leaves your thoughts. Draper captures that magnetic push and pull beautifully, balancing vulnerability with an undeniable groove that feels ready for both headphones and festival stages. The vocal performance (from a collaborator whose presence adds warmth and intimacy) floats effortlessly above the synth layers, giving the song its emotional heartbeat.
What makes I Been Thinking Bout You stand out is how Draper manages to stay true to his emotive, melody-driven roots while injecting a fresh energy that feels like a rebirth. It’s both introspective and euphoric, reflective of the hiatus he took and the creative fire he’s clearly reignited.
After dazzling audiences at festivals like Reading & Leeds, Draper has proven he can turn stages into electric moments. This track shows he can still do the same on record—transforming longing into something that feels both intimate and universal.
