Watch as the singer-songwriter takes us through his second chart-topping album.

Sam Fender released his Seventeen Going Under album in October this year and it was well worth the wait.

The record, which includes singles such as Get You Down, Spit Of You and its title track, sees the North Shields singer-songwriter give us an insight into the mind of a young man on the cusp of adulthood and tackles everything from his insecurities to his complicated relationship with his father.

Fender considers it "leagues ahead" of his debut.

Previously speaking about the album, the North Shields singer said it was "about growing up and the self-esteem issues that you carry into your adult life."

On the title, he explained: "17 is when all the challenges begin: you're not a baby, but you're definitely not an adult (turns out that bit takes a lot longer than you think)."
