JLS have released their new single ‘Day One’.
The ‘Beat Again’ hitmakers – comprising Aston Merrygold, Marvin Humes, Oritse Williams and JB Gill – have followed up their Ed Sheeran-penned lead single, ‘Eternal Love’, with the new track dedicated to their loyal fanbase.
The band said: “This is a song for ALL our day ones!! For everyone who’s been there from the very beginning, who’s supported us since the X Factor and even before. It was about time we wrote a song specifically dedicated to our supporters and we hope the fans are gonna love it!”
The two tracks feature on ‘JLS 2.0’, the ‘Everybody in Love’ hitmakers’ first album since 2012’s ‘Evolution’, which is set to follow on December 3.
JLS are also set to embark on a 28-date ‘Beat Again Tour’, which kicks off on October 20 in Glasgow, and they are determined to party hard on the road.
JB said recently: “Have you seen Marvin’s tour measures that he pours? He’ll pour us all doubles and there will be barely any Coke with them.”
Aston also revealed that one member of the band is set to bring much more with him on tour than the other boys.
He said: “It depends this time if someone is going to bring 600 guitars on the road. Put it this way, there is an extra bunk for Oritse to put his stuff on.
“He has the most luggage you’ve seen one person have in your life. He’s a one-man band. He takes instruments on tour he can’t even play.”
JLS announced their long-awaited reunion shows last year but were forced to delay the concerts because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Despite this, Marvin previously admitted that he’d already waited for years to bring them all back together.
He explained: “It’s lovely to be back here with my brothers. It’s something I’ve been waiting for for a long time.
“Four years ago I tried to make this happen. I was on the phone to the guys like, ‘Come on guys, let’s just get back together, we should have never broke up. You’re telling me that our heart won’t beat again?’
“I remember taking Oritse for a dodgy little sushi around the corner from here and I was like, ‘Rish, come on bruv, let’s make this happen.'”
‘Day One’ and ‘Eternal Love’ are available to stream now.
