and live on Freeview channel 276
The record, which follows the journey of two people in love, delivers Michael’s signature catchy rock and it’s full of clattering guitars and a heavy beat-driven melody.
Michael, 25, has said he wrote the song in “one go” after returning from a festival in Belgium and has described it as having a “summer festival feel” to it.

"The song tells the story about two people who have fallen in love and all the trials and tribulations they face along the way, but in the end love conquers all.
"I remember writing it in one go when I came home from a festival in Belgium, which is probably why it has that summer festival feel to it.
"It's been cemented in my live set since it was written so anyone who has seen the live show already might recognize it.”
