The 2021 DVBBS collaboration “I Don’t” also put up big numbers ahead of his next solo single, “Daydream.” Orlando kicked off 2022 with a string of singles, including “Blur” and “Leave a Light On,” both of which appeared on his debut full-length effort, All the Things That Could Go Wrong, later that year. ~ Matt Collar
