Sam Fender has released ‘Get You Down’, the latest single from his upcoming new album, ‘Seventeen Going Under’. Check it out below, along with our interview with Fender discussing the track – and the possibility of a punk side project.
The North Shields BRIT Award-winner’s latest release, which follows the title track from his forthcoming album and recent single ‘Aye’, is a “heart-churning” stadium record that sees Fender tackle insecurity in relationships.
“The whole album is about insecurity and growing up,” Fender told NME backstage at last month’s Boardmasters Festival. “It’s about the insecurities you carry from being a kid, my feelings of abandonment and the self-loathing I’ve accumulated over the years, all while being a charismatic kid – a canny chanter, but sad.
Recorded back in 2019, Fender described the track as “a fucking absolute heart-churner”. However, he said his record label weren’t sure about it at first.
