Discussing the track, he states,&nbsp;&#8220;<em>&#8216;Do U Mind? (Leave the Light On)&#8217; is about meeting up with someone and pretending like you&#8217;re in love for the night, even though you both know you&#8217;re not. It&#8217;s a little wink to all the people out there who feel the same way, and want to feel that sense of belonging&#8230; for just a moment. I feel like hookup culture has made it really hard to be vulnerable with each other. This song is my attempt at explaining the intersection of love, isolation, and frustration that&nbsp;apps like GRINDR make me feel<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After taking 2019 to focus on songwriting, Fleece released three singles in 2020, including <a href=\"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/fleece-share-animated-video-for-upside-down\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"Fleece share animated video for \u2018Upside Down\u2019\"><em>Upside Down<\/em><\/a>, with well over a million streams on Spotify.
