With its upbeat, euphoric sound, the track harnesses the band’s signature blend of indie and dance. “You won’t tell me/ you won’t tell me about it/ You’re all I want/ You’re all I really need,” frontman Peter Hooton sings in the opening lines, before erupting into the feel-good chorus: “Forever and ever/ Take a good look at me/ These are the days that’ll set you free/ Take a good look at me”.“When I first heard the new music in rehearsals, I knew I had to match the infectious nature of the music, so I went for lyrics that aim straight between the eyes.

I went for the timeless theme of everlasting love. It’s about love, obsession and infatuation,” the singer said of the song’s inspiration.“We were listening to some cool dance tracks and liked the feel of them at 126bpm,” continues guitarist and keyboard player, Steve Grimes. “We started using a couple of Apple Loops beats in that style, added a keys melody and chords from a previous track we’d worked on.

Keith played the guitar chords in the Nile Rodgers style.”As for the full album, the record comes as the band have rarely returned to the studio since the recording of their third album, barring special commemorative and charity projects.
