來自美國亞特蘭大的歌手 Teddy Swims (靈魂巨人泰迪)，本名 Jaten Dimsdale，以其充滿靈魂且跨越多種類型的音樂風格而聞名。在2019年，他透過在 YouTube 上發布一系列的翻唱影片而迅速竄紅，其中這首對美國R&B歌手馬利歐 (Mario) 2004年經典名曲《Let Me Love You》的重新詮釋，更是他早期生涯的代表作之一，至今已累積了超過一億次的驚人觀看數。Teddy Swims 的版本將原曲的R&B基調，注入了他招牌的沙啞靈魂唱腔與一絲藍調的即興感，搭配現場樂團的演奏，讓這首歌曲呈現出全新的生命力與豐富的音樂層次。他不僅完美駕馭了歌曲中的情感轉折，更展現了他無與倫比的歌唱實力，也正是這部影片，為他日後與華納唱片簽約並發行個人作品奠定了穩固的基礎，成功從網路紅人轉型為全球知名的實力派歌手。
