by When two of music’s most soulful voices come together, magic happens. That’s exactly what we’re getting with “Are You Even Real,” the stunning new collaboration between Grammy-nominated phenomenon Teddy Swims and R&B mainstay GIVĒON. This soul-stirring duet marks another milestone in Swims’ meteoric rise, arriving just weeks before his highly anticipated album, I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 2), set to drop January 24.
The track itself feels like a conversation between two old friends sharing their deepest feelings about love. “I’m in love with a perfect woman and I am so lucky that sometimes it feels too good to be true!” Swims shares with characteristic warmth. His enthusiasm for working with GIVĒON is equally genuine, calling him “a once in a generation talent.” GIVĒON’s response captures the organic nature of their collaboration: “This song came together in such a natural way and it shows. The music, the lyrics, Teddy, and myself. It’s one that makes you replay it over and over.”
This collaboration comes at a golden moment for Swims, whose 2024 was nothing short of extraordinary. His breakout hit “Lose Control” didn’t just top the Billboard Hot 100 – it became the second-longest running Hot 100 Top 10 song of all time, amassing over 3 billion global streams and dominating five radio formats. The success earned him a 2025 Grammy nomination for Best New Artist, multiple MTV VMA nominations, and two Billboard Music Awards. Now, with Part 2 of his album on the horizon – featuring collaborations with Muni Long, Coco Jones, and GloRilla – and his biggest global headline tour ahead (including stops at Lollapalooza in Chile, Argentina, and Brazil), Swims is proving that his soulful journey is just beginning.
