British rapper Dave and Nigerian singer Tems have released “Raindance,” a warm-hearted love song that has become one of the year’s biggest crossover Afroswing hits.
Released October 23, 2025 through Neighbourhood Recordings as the fifth track from Dave’s third studio album The Boy Who Played the Harp, the single has continued its run well into 2026, becoming Dave’s fourth UK number-one single and Tems’ first.
“Raindance” pairs Dave’s incisive, thoughtful rap style with Tems’ soulful, genre-blurring vocals, a combination that helped push the record to the top of the UK Singles Chart in January 2026 and inside the top 10 in countries including Australia, Germany, and the Netherlands.
The song was written by Dave and Tems, who also served as additional producers alongside Jo Caleb, Jonny Leslie, Kyle Evans, and Jim Legxacy, and it was certified Gold in the UK as of January 2026.
Tems continues to build one of the most in-demand feature catalogues in music, following her work on records with Justin Bieber, Drake, and Wizkid, and “Raindance” adds another major crossover credit to that run.
Raindance by Dave featuring Tems is available on all streaming platforms.
