"7 Minutes" is a song by Australian singer and songwriter Dean Lewis. The song was released in January 2019 as the second single from Lewis' forthcoming debut studio album, A Place We Knew.[1]

Lewis told Triple J "The song was conceived in a London cab two years ago after an argument with a girl...the line, 'Is it too late to turn around, I'm already halfway out of town' came into my head while I was sitting in an Uber about halfway from her place to mine."[2] Lewis also said "The song is about meeting someone, making memories and then feeling regret."[1] "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol is referenced in this song.

At the ARIA Music Awards of 2019, the album was nominated for Song of the Year.[3]

At the APRA Music Awards of 2020, "7 Minutes" was nominated for Most Performed Australian Work of the Year and Most Performed Pop Work of the Year[4][5]

Reception

Peter Tuscan from The Music Network said "'7 Minutes' has all the right ingredients for commercial success. Musically poignant verses and an all-out strummer of a chorus lead into a stripped back yet triumphant bridge, helped out by ethereal pads and drums." adding "Radio will no doubt have a field day with this track."[6] Al Newstead from ABC said "'7 Minutes' is about lost love, with acoustic-plucking that builds to a stirring climax of rolling snare and dramatic vocal harmonies that will definitely appeal to fans of Vance Joy and Mumford and Sons."[2] On March 18, 2019, Lewis performed "7 Minutes" as well as "Stay Awake" on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
