"Big love to everyone asking after this one," said Fender when talking about the single, which was co-produced by The War On Drugs' Adam Granduciel, before telling fans it would be released today.

The Play God singer returns to the UK next month for a sold out show at Liverpool's Sefton Park on 24th May, before heading to the capital in June for an epic date at London Stadium - the home of West Ham F.C. in Stratford.

Sam Fender will then return to the hallowed home ground of Newcastle F.C., where he'll play a trio of sold-out shows - after previously becoming the first Geordie artist to headline the 55k capacity stadium.

The first time Sam played a duo of dates at the home of the Magpies, it was estimated that he helped to bring in over £15 million to the local economy.

According to The Northern Echo, Stephen Patterson, chief executive of the NE1 Ltd business improvement district company said: "Hats off to Sam, his team and NUFC for putting on such a fantastic show. It highlighted what a spectacular asset we have in St James’ Park.

"A rare city centre Premier League stadium with all that the city has to offer literally a short walk away.“It is massively important for the city to host events of this scale and calibre and we need more of them.”
