The track gives another taste of Swims’ highly anticipated new album I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 2), arriving January 24. Pre-order/pre-save HERE. In addition to GIVĒON, the album features collaborations with Muni Long, Coco Jones and GloRilla. It follows the massive success of Part 1, which included his global multi-platinum hits “Lose Control” and “The Door.”
About the making of “Are You Even Real,” both artists share: “I’m in love with a perfect woman and I am so lucky that sometimes it feels too good to be true!” says Swims. “I’m so grateful to have my dear friend GIVĒON on ‘Are You Even Real’ with me! He is a once in a generation talent, I’m trying to get this man to do a whole record with me!”
“This song came together in such a natural way and it shows,” GIVĒON explains. “The music, the lyrics, Teddy, and myself. It’s one that makes you replay it over and over. Excited to finally share it with the world.”
This track arrives on the heels of Swims’ recent collaborations “Georgia Ways” with Quavo and Luke Bryan and “Somethin’ Bout A Woman” with Thomas Rhett. It also follows the first taste fans received of I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 2) — “Bad Dreams,” the lead single from Part 2, which is currently climbing the charts after debuting on the Billboard Hot 100.
2024 was a record year for Swims, who celebrated the success of his multi-platinum chart-conquering hits “Lose Control” and “The Door” from his debut album, I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1). Swims’ breakout single “Lose Control” catapulted his success to new heights, claiming the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and becoming the second-longest running Hot 100 Top 10 song of all time. The track has amassed over 3 billion global streams, reached #4 on ARIA Singles Chart, and was inducted into Spotify’s “Billions Club.”
The success earned him a 2025 Grammy Award nomination for Best New Artist, as well as a performance at the 2024 MTV VMAs, where he received three nominations, and the 2024 Billboard Music Awards, where he received eight nominations and won two awards: Top Hot 100 Song and Top Radio Song of 2024. His impact has soared across the globe—in 2024 we saw him perform at the MTV EMAs and NRJ Awards, as well as the Los40 Awards, where he took home two trophies: Best International Artist and Best International Album of the Year.
Putting in real work for years, a quiet, yet steady grind brought Swims to the forefront of popular culture as a tried-and-true star without comparison. Teddy started to gain notoriety after posting covers online in 2019 — such as Michael Jackson’s “Rock With You” and Shania Twain’s “You’re Still The One” — gaining hundreds of millions of views, leading to his signing to Warner Records in 2020. He tirelessly honed his voice and songwriting across EPs such as Unlearning [2021], Tough Love [2022], and Sleep Is Exhausting [2022]. He showcased his sky-high range by collaborating with artists such as Thomas Rhett, Maren Morris, Meghan Trainor, X Ambassadors, ILLENIUM, Tiësto, Armin Van Buuren, and Matoma. He made a statement with I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 1) in 2023, and wrapped up a prolific run by releasing a Live Version of the album alongside his band Freak Freely at the top of 2024.
Swims shows no signs of slowing down as he jumpstarts a record-breaking 2025, with the release of I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 2) and his biggest global headline tour to date—including performances at Lollapalooza in Chile, Argentina and Brazil—on the horizon.

Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
