Tessa Brooks and Jonah Marais cuddle up in bed in the new music video for Why Don’t We‘s “Lotus Inn“!

The song is the second track from the band’s upcoming second album The Good Times and The Bad Ones, which is out on January 15th.

“Lotus Inn music video out now 🥳 Congrats to these talented boyz @whydontwemusic it was so fun to apart of the vid so go check it out 🖤,” Tessa wrote on Instagram.

“‘Lotus Inn’ is a song we wrote to end our live show with, it has that epic encore feeling,” Jonah says. “We were inspired by the ‘lotus-eaters’ in ‘The Odyssey,’ and a scene from the first ‘Percy Jackson’ book/movie (‘The Lightning Thief’) where they get stuck in ‘The Lotus Hotel and Casino’ – indulging in lotus flowers and drinks before they realize a few hours had actually gone on for days. Our lyric ‘staying at the Lotus Inn’ captures the idea that while partying can be a hell of a time, it can definitely side track you.”

The group – Corbyn Besson, Daniel Seavey, Jack Avery, Jonah Marais and Zach Herron – announced the news that their album The Good Times and The Bad Ones will be out on January 15th.

“These last few years have been an absolute whirlwind for us. From moving out to LA as a band and touring the world, to falling in and out of love, and now being locked inside for months…” they wrote on Instagram.

“Life has been amazing, and equally tough. But you have to do your best to make something beautiful out of it all, so that’s what we did. We put everything into this album. We hope it helps you enjoy the good times and push through the bad ones. You can pre-order ‘The Good Times and The Bad Ones’ now and we’ll see you on @theellenshow tomorrow. Link in our bio.”

“Writing and co-producing our own music has been one of the most rewarding experiences for us,” Corbyn said in a statement. “In the past four years we’ve become confident enough to reinvent ourselves, becoming the band we always hoped to be.”

“It was time to do this ourselves,” Daniel added. “These are our ideas, melodies, and thoughts.”

Why Don’t We are also set to appear on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Thursday (November 12), to perform their single “Fallin’,” but you can watch it right here now!

Why Don’t We have returned with their brand new single “Fallin’“!

The band – Jack Avery, Corbyn Besson, Zach Herron, Jonah Marais and Daniel Seavey – just dropped the first new song in over eight months.

Why Don’t We‘s new track actually samples beats from Kanye West, and they shared that he actually did clear them to use it.

“Yeah, the Kanye drums, when we first were writing the song, just fit in perfectly with the group we were going for,” the guys told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. “And it’s hard to beat those drums in that specific sample, in that pocket of rhythm. I think it actually happened ’cause we were writing it and someone was like ‘Oh, it sounds like it could be in this vibe’ and played it.”

“And we were like ‘Oh, what if we just got those in there?’ And luckily for us, Kanye did clear it. He was actually the first to clear. And then we come to find out there’s 15 other writers on the song, Daft Punk, but we did get it cleared.”

“That was amazing for us, the fact that they all were behind the song and cleared it and agreed with us using their drums was huge for us. It almost felt like they gave us their blessing in a way, it was like ‘Whoa, this is crazy.’”

Why Don’t We also released a “making of” video for the song. Click inside to watch… More Here! »
