Thomas Day Shares How He Wrote His First REAL Love Song, the New Single ‘Gravity’
We've been megafans of Nashville-based singer-songwriter Thomas Day ever since we first stumbled upon him on TikTok, and since then, he's graduated from social media sensation to bona fide pop star.
The beloved artist has since racked up over 100 million streams and just wrapped a small tour in support of David Kushner, but he reached a new milestone this week in releasing his first-ever long song. Thomas is well-known for his emotionally resonant pop hits, often exploring pain, yearning and heartbreak, but his new single "Gravity" is a pure love song—and that's something to celebrate. The second we heard it, we had to learn its story, and Thomas shared it with us in the interview below.
The Story Behind 'Gravity'
Thomas Day: I feel like I've been searching for someone or something my entire life, but every time I've fallen for someone, I've ended up getting my heart broken. Ever since I experienced my first heartbreak, I've learned to become cautious with love. This song was inspired by meeting someone who made me feel, for the first time, like I didn't have to be cautious. It's just different. It's hard to explain, but real love is one of the rarest things to come by. Words can never be enough to describe it, but this love is the type of love you live for.
What 'Gravity' Means
TD: To me, this song is a sign of hope. It's about realizing you were wrong about something. It's realizing that love is real, it's just hard to find.

Thomas's Favorite Lyric
TD: "I'm on fire but I'll be fine if you stay." I love this lyric because it describes how I'm always bouncing off the walls and jumping to conclusions, etc. All I need is for someone to calm my mind.
