Undoubtedly the biggest new band to smash into the charts in the last 12 months, The Wanted’s latest offering is not only set to be a sure-fire hit but will also be the official Comic Relief single for Red Nose Day.
Available for digital download on Sunday 13th March and to buy in the shops the day after, Gold Forever is the latest single from the Brit nominated five-piece: Jay, Max, Nathan, Siva and Tom.
Written by a stellar team of award-winning songwriters, Steve Mac, Wayne Hector and Claude Kelly, this song packs a punch. Gold Forever is a ballad to rave to, combining the boy’s soaring vocals with a clubby, synth bassline.
“This song is about a day in your life that you never forget. It’s an upbeat, feel good track and our favourite so far. We’re really excited to get it out there, and delighted that it is supporting such a great cause.” says Max
The Wanted follow the long line up of pop royalty who have recorded singles for the charity, including Spice Girls, McFly and Girls Aloud/Sugababes. Jay commented on the group’s involvement “We’re in a position where we can contribute to Comic Relief. We grew up watching it as kids and to be involved is crazy but an absolute honour. We hope we do everyone proud.”
Nathan echoes, “Comic Relief is a British institution and something everyone wants to be part of. It’s an amazing charity and we’re thrilled to be involved.”
The Wanted are set to perform the track on Red Nose Day’s enormous Night of TV, Comic Relief: Funny for Money which kicks off at 7pm, BBC1 on Friday 18th March, Red Nose Day. By raising money for Red Nose Day, people can help to change lives forever. That’s because Comic Relief spends all the money raised to give extremely vulnerable, poor and disadvantaged people in the UK and Africa a helping hand to turn their lives around.
