The Southern California-based singer-songwriter will preview the six-track project at a headline show at The Moroccan Lounge in Los Angeles on August 13. The new song follows four earlier singles from the EP and arrives as Lewis prepares for the first full release of his recording career.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUse Me\u201d centers on a relationship formed in the aftermath of someone else\u2019s breakup. Lewis offers himself as a temporary source of comfort while acknowledging the emotional risks of becoming a stand-in partner. \u201cI tend to sacrifice my own needs in service of another person\u2019s,\u201d Lewis said. \u201cIn this case, it was about being a stand-in lover for someone who\u2019s mourning a breakup.\u201d He added that the arrangement reflects \u201ca bit of self-sabotage,\u201d with lowered expectations serving as a way to protect his ego. The recording pairs Lewis\u2019 lead vocal and guitar-based arrangement with a group of female voices in the refrain.<\/p>\n<p>The single follows the previously released tracks \u201cMr. Right Now,\u201d \u201cLeaving Me Lonely,\u201d \u201cToo Easy,\u201d and \u201cMrs. Kisses.\u201d\u00a0Lewis describes his approach as \u201cGrunge Groove,\u201d drawing from R&amp;B, soul, blues, and guitar-driven rock. Before signing with Republic, he spent time in Los Angeles interning for producer Jeff \u201cGitty\u201d Gitelman. Lewis later began working with Gitelman as a creative collaborator after covers he posted online drew attention, and the partnership helped establish the material that became his debut project.<\/p>\n<p>Lewis signed with Republic Records in 2026 and released \u201cToo Easy\u201d in May with the initial announcement of Mr. Right Now. On June 3, he played his first New York City headline show at Baby\u2019s All Right in Brooklyn, where fans heard an early live preview of the EP. Republic Records later shared a performance of \u201cMrs. Kisses\u201d filmed at the venue. Lewis\u2019 August 13 concert at The Moroccan Lounge will mark his next headline appearance and will take place one day before the EP\u2019s scheduled release.\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tig3rlewis.lnk.to\/usemeWE?utm_campaign=products&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=udiscovermusic.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Listen to Tig3r Lewis\u2019 \u201cUSE ME\u201d here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tig3r Lewis has released \u201cUse Me,\u201d the latest single from his debut EP, Mr. Right Now, due August&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":543685,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[93,21632,61,60,278,641,71993,230742,230743],"class_list":["post-543684","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-homepage-featured","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-music","tag-pop","tag-republic-records","tag-tig3r-lewis","tag-tig3r-lewis-use-me"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/543684","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=543684"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/543684\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/543685"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=543684"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=543684"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=543684"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
