"Down for You" is a song recorded by Australian electronic music duo Cosmo's Midnight and Australian singer-songwriter Ruel. The song was released on 31 January 2020[1] as the fourth single from Cosmo's Midnight second studio album Yesteryear. The song peaked at number 9 on the New Zealand Hot Singles.

Originally meet in 2018, Cosmo's Midnight invited Ruel to make his festival debut as a guest vocalist in their set at Groovin the Moo festival.[2] Upon release of the single, Cosmo's Midnight said "He joined us on stage for an impromptu on-stage collab. We immediately knew we had to write a song together. The stars didn't align until a year later, but we made up for lost time and wrote 'Down for You'. In the studio we were basically talking about how you do things you don't want to for people you like ala Bobby Caldwell 'What You Won't Do' - and it all flowed from there. We had the song basically done that day, but had to back n forth a bit to finesse the details."[3] Ruel added "[it] Was so much fun writing this one with the boys. The song kinda wrote itself in the session we had. We all felt like we really related to the story we wrote. So happy to finally have a song out with Cosmo and Pat."[2]

The song poled number 83 on the Triple J Hottest 100, 2020.[4]
