The Wanted premiered their new single, "Show Me Love," yesterday (September 10) and it turns out the song has a personal meaning with Nathan Sykes. In a new interview with MTV News, Nathan said the song is based on trying to balance a personal relationship with life on the road in a band.
"I wrote in an afternoon with a friend of mine," he revealed. "And it really means a lot to me 'cause it kind of goes into how hard it is to hold a relationship when you're in this business, traveling the world and stuff like that."
"And it's just saying to someone 'I could have shown you the world but obviously we're on different paths.' I think that's kind of how a lot of people in this industry kind of feel, but I think it's very relatable to a lot of the fans as well because sometimes in life that just happens and people end up on different paths and it just doesn't work out."
One of the goals for the ballad was to try to re-create the sound they had on "All Time Low," from their 2010 debut album.
"It's like a really epic sound and we went back to, we wanted to recreate the string sound that we used in 'All Time Low.' It's quite deep, I'm not gonna lie," he said. "We also think the chorus is very sing-along and there's this amazing breakdown bit which we also love. So that's the one I can relate to quite a lot."
The new song is part of The Wanted's upcoming album, Word of Mouth, which has been pushed back to November 4.
