From Will's Instagram account.

willyoungofficialView from studio album number 7! Echoes 2. Writing with my pals who I am ever thankful Jo Mc put me in touch with . I know she’s watching and dancing !

If it's similar to Echoes it will be a brilliant album. dance.gif yahoo.gif cheer.gif

Posted by: ros Oct 2 2018, 01:38 PM

Amazing news! I am so thrilled to hear this news. w00t.gif yahoo.gif dance.gif He looks really well these days and I’m so happy he’s got his mojo back and recording.

Posted by: Liаm Oct 2 2018, 02:19 PM

Another Jealousy please, I was just listening to that the other day and it's by far his best song, forgot what a bloody good song it is wub.gif

So much for retiring from music for good then!

I always hoped he would come round. He seemed to get his enthusiasm for singing back when he was in Strictly Ballroom. To see him in a recording studio singing a lovely version of Time After Time was amazing. biggrin.gif

OMG! Yes!! Didn’t think we’d ever get new music from him again.

Posted by: ThePensmith Oct 2 2018, 04:19 PM

'Echoes' is my favourite album of his so I'm excited to hear what he's come up with.

Posted by: pippa Oct 2 2018, 04:34 PM

I would greatly welcome this material to have a similar sound to Jealousy which i think is his stand out track.

Posted by: slowdown73 Oct 2 2018, 09:17 PM

I thought he was retiring too but glad the rumour isn’t true. Still one of the best artists to ever come from a reality TV show.

Posted by: Lomadz Oct 3 2018, 12:59 PM

Jealousy was excellent although 'Who am I' is still my faveourite of his.

Posted by: Spiceboy Oct 3 2018, 07:19 PM

So glad he changed his mind about retirement, he is one of my favourite artists and Echoes is my second favourite album of his after Keep On.

Posted by: Envoirment Oct 3 2018, 09:01 PM

Nice to see Will making music again! I really enjoyed "Love Revolution", shame it didn't do more! Although I'm excited that the album is going to be in the vibe of Echoes - that was a solid album overall. Particularly loved "Jealously" and "I Just Want a Lover".

Posted by: Spiceboy Oct 3 2018, 10:56 PM

I adored Come on and Outsider and Silent Valentine and of course Jealousy. Such a strong album and Will sounds flipping amazing on it! I would welcome an Echoes tour on both those albums if it is in the same vein!

Exciting but am I the only one who thought his last album was actually his best one?

Posted by: truly talented Dec 19 2018, 11:13 AM

85% Proof is a very good album but for me Echoes and Keep On are his best.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Dec 19 2018, 11:26 AM

Is Echoes 2 actually the title?

'Runaway' from that album was so so spectacular, I was peeved he didn't release it.

I don’t think so just Will saying it would be in the same vein as Echoes. Richard X liked Will’s earlier post about the album and posted this on Instagram at the end of October.

Pleased to hear Will's back smile.gif I thought it a little premature for him to announce retirement when he did so to see he's got the passion to do music again is delightful. And 'Echoes' is still my favourite album of his so I look forward to hearing what he and Richard have done together this time.

Posted by: blacksquare Mar 22 2019, 10:16 AM



I didn't expect Will Young to ever release a striptease as a video, but why not. It seems more authentically him than anything on the last album, and the song bops.

Posted by: truly talented Mar 22 2019, 10:43 AM

Because his voice especially when he sings the high parts sounds like The Weeknd and the whole song just sounds like something The Weeknd would release that’s why I made that comparison.

Love the single. Very Jealousy esque. Not keen on the video I'm afraid - hate it too showy, photoshooty etc. I had a real cool idea with dancers and lights for the vid but not to be. Can't wait the album, should be good.

Will Young forum towards the end of its run in 2017:

20/08/2017 - 5 posts (23rd of the week)
27/08/2017 - 18 posts (19th)
03/09/2017 - 18 posts (21st)

~

Spice Girls replaced the Will Young forum as of the 10/09/2017 chart, and has achieved these numbers since then:

2017: 1196 posts (17 weeks only)
2018: 3038 posts (4th most posted in forum of the year)
2019: 1147 posts (11 weeks of the year so far)

= 5,381 posts in 80 weeks


The replacement came at a time when new Artist Forums couldn't be created from scratch, they had to take the place of pre-existing artist forums, so it was decided by management that Spice Girls would have to replace Will Young!

Posted by: suggy Mar 23 2019, 09:29 PM

I think when your artist is off doing acting, a musical or just in between planets, it tends to go off into the wilderness a bit, I'm a fan of his singing voice so I don't hang around then.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn Mar 23 2019, 10:29 PM

The video is absolutely fantastic. It shows a man truly embracing his self-confidence like never before, which I feel in a way is reflective of all the activism work he's been involved in.

I feel it's fair to say as an entire package, it's one of the best things he's ever done.

Big thanks to @SpotifyUK for having me on their New Music Friday playlist over the weekend!

I’m a bit of a novice when it comes to Spotify. I don’t remember any singles from Will’s last album being added to any playlist. Is it likely he could be added to other playlists?

He’s also tweeted about the song being added to a couple of Apple Music lists.

It's all very Carly Rae meets Olly Murs (Kiss Me/You Don't Know Love) meets Sam Smith (his features - not drab solo stuff) and I'm here for it. This sound really works for him. Jealousy is still my fave by him, but I can see this challenging in the future.

He’s doing radio and newspaper interviews to promote the album and the tour but doubt if he sees any need to promote the single, he’s not got the streaming to make any impact on the charts anyway.

I’m looking forward to a couple of more tracks before 14 June when the album is released though.

Hi Ros,

Yes I’m hoping for more samples of the Album also 5 seconds from Richard X isn’t ideal really when do iTunes usually add the samples, I noticed they have all the track times usually that indicates that they have the album already

Posted by: ros Apr 7 2019, 10:35 AM

I think the samples won’t surface till much nearer the release date Dazzey. Usually if you’ve preordered two or three other full tracks will become available to you ahead of the release though.

With Echoes I remember them making the whole album available for anyone to listen to over the weekend before but of course since that time they’ve moved the chart weeks from Monday - Sunday to Friday - Thursday.

I think the samples won’t surface till much nearer the release date Dazzey. Usually if you’ve preordered two or three other full tracks will become available to you ahead of the release though.

With Echoes I remember them making the whole album available for anyone to listen to over the weekend before but of course since that time they’ve moved the chart weeks from Monday - Sunday to Friday - Thursday.


Oh ok thank you, I have preordered the album on the Will Young Store so didnt really want to purchase again on iTunes have you ordered on both?

Posted by: dazzey1983 Apr 7 2019, 11:38 AM

Now Will Young is out of retirement how can we request a Will Young forum like we had previously?

Yes I heard that and I’m hoping the second single is released before the album. I’m dying to hear some more samples.


Posted by: ros Apr 8 2019, 07:45 PM

So he’s written the first two singles with Jim and Mima and there are two Eg White songs on there.

Wonder when we’ll hear the second single? Maybe not until radio 2 take All The Songs off their playlist do we think?

There’s a rumour he’s going to be on the One Show but I suspect any tv promo will be nearer the album release. Although he did a few tv interviews to promote the last album he did very few performance slots. sad.gif I hope they do have some lined up this time round as Will’s live singing is his main selling point.

There’s an advert now so a bit of promo coming. Usually Ken Bruce plays a new song from the Album every day but I think this is nearer to the release

At the moment she has more hype plus she has Eurovision but that’s a while before release
. But if he does promo the actual week of release that could make all the difference in the UK.
Plus his last album went to #1 and Madonna’s didn’t.

Your opinion but Will is renowned for his innovative videos and this one is no different. Shame Westlife haven’t been more inventive over the years. He’s always seen himself as a feminist and is challenging how he feels women are expected to dress scantily in videos to sell music. He wanted to see what the reaction would be to a gay man doing the same thing and your comment proves where he’s coming from.

Posted by: Charis Apr 23 2019, 02:16 PM

I would say (almost) the same thing even if a woman was doing a similar video...


But yes if that makes a point, I find it strange for a man to pretend like a lady, and adding all those strange stuff in a video which is supposed to be watched by everyone.

It's ok to be gay there is no need to provoke.

In the meantime, we've put together a video of outtakes and bloopers from the 'All The Songs' video shoot.

Wise decision! It's a very competitive week. He'd be Top 10 at most, that for a artist whose every studio album has charted within the Top 2 would be a failure.

Posted by: WhoOdyssey May 9 2019, 08:39 AM

Other albums which could be competition on June 21st are Mark Ronson, Chris Brown (ugh) and The Raconteurs.

As well as albums holding on from the previous weeks.

Wise decision! It's a very competitive week. He'd be Top 10 at most, that for a artist whose every studio album has charted within the Top 2 would be a failure.


Not in my eyes. Will is at a much different stage in his career, signed to an independent label and has no management company. His only radio support is radio 2 and I’m not sure if he’ll do any tv promo. He’s released this album to give him a platform to tour and has said he has hopes but no expectations. I’m sure it will be a quality album and hope the reviews reflect that.

Posted by: WhoOdyssey May 9 2019, 09:02 AM

Plus I think at the end of the day - chart positions really mean nothing. Most fans aren't aware of them.

As long as the albums and tours sell well, that's a success.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn May 9 2019, 09:17 AM

Plus he has also been away for a very long time, 5 years is a lifetime in pop music.

I don't think he's as bothered these days about that sort of thing though, it sounds like he's made the album he wanted to make rather than trying to attain commercial success.

I'm not not sure i entirely believe that. I can think the only reason this has been put back by one week is to avoid a chart battle with Madonna for No.1. They do care about the chart position. A No.1 album on the UK Albums Chart would be a good feat for him to promote with and wouldn't be something i'd rule out as impossible - i mean pretty much all 85% Proof had going for it was that it gone to No.1.

I highly doubt come June he won't doing any tv promo....i see him promoting it definitely.

Cooking Vinyl isn't a major label, so i understand the sales expectations are lower....i think he'll easily sell enough to keep them happy which is good...it'll give him a stable and consistent home for his music for the next stage of his career and unlike the juggernaut Universal Island who weren't content with 80k album sales it's more suited, i wouldn't however do it down as a completely independent label either, i'd say it's somewhere in the middle - their roaster includes Groove Armada, Alison Moyet, Lucy Spraggan, Maximo Park, Marilyn Manson, Nina Nesbitt, Passenger, Starsailor, The Cranberries, The Darkness, The Proclaimers and TLC. I imagine they are more encouraging and allow greater creativity than a major label hence the acts they have signed...

Do you have confirmation of this? June 21st is just as competitive — there could be other reasons for the delay.

Him not charting within the top 2, on a smaller label, after a break of five years, at this stage in his career, is fine. I'm sure both he and his label are aware of that. Top 10 in 2019 would be a big success.

Posted by: truly talented May 9 2019, 11:12 AM

It’s confirmed here and on his own website store.

I assume they will claim it’s down to production issues. No official email from Will Young.co.uk has been received yet and the date change hasn’t been updated on his website but it has on the Store and all streaming services.

Watch this space!

Update: The album covers are being signed, does this mean they have the covers or the album also.

I meant confirmation that it was being delayed to avoid a chart battle with Madonna.

It's more likely that there has been an issue with vinyl pressings or they have been offered a promotion slot after the original release date etc.

No idea what a HMV signing would generate sales wise but he has Birmingham today and Brighton tomorrow - surely at least 200-300 sales from each? Signed CDs are still available on Amazon and his website is pushing the £4.99 iTunes download. Even if he doesn’t manage #1 his management/label have tried nearly everything tbh.

He really shouldn't have cancelled the London signing, could have helped hugely. London is his No.1 fanbase area on Spotify too...

Loose Women should help plus the 3 signings. The iTunes £4.99 has worked VERY well, i just would hope they'd put the price on Amazon down too, but regardless it is holding up REALLY WELL.

No.1 or No.2 at the least, and his record of having every single studio album in the top 2 intact.

Also, sadly Lewis Capaladi and beat so many artists to the No.1 at the end of the week due to insane streaming for his songs so that'll be hard to complete with but i reckon it'll be close. Keep buying copies and streaming! Gift one to a friend or family member...it's a fab album.

TBH I wonder how bothered Will is about reaching #1? The album is a success regardless.

He’s not hammering about buying/streaming it on his social media channels and he could really go for it if he wanted too (When Busted were challenging for the #1 they reduced the physical to £5 on Amazon and the signed version for £7.99 on their website to generate some sales).

Posted by: truly talented Jun 26 2019, 04:49 PM

Looks like Ground Running could be the next single.

From Official Charts.

Will Young on his new album Lexicon and going independent: “I’ve never been confident about my song writing”
For his seventh record, Will Young has reassembled the "dream team" behind his Number 1 album Echoes.

By Jack White
Pop music fans will certainly let their favourite artists know it if they release music they weren’t quite hoping to hear. The opposite can be said for Will Young’s new album Lexicon. Similar in sound to his hugely popular chart-topping 2011 record Echoes, his fans are in agreement that this is the album they were looking for.

“Do you think so?” Will ponders when we interviewed him earlier this month. What made him decide, eight years on, to tap into that mid-tempo, electro-pop world again?


Echoes is just such a pleasure to listen to," he says. "It’s like a pop eiderdown. I rinse those songs on my iTunes. It’s got that element of elation and warmth. It’s sonically interesting. Listening to it on headphones, it’s a masterpiece. Richard X is a genius. There’s quite a lot of breadth to the music. There’s an atmosphere. Beyond that, I can’t really explain it. I just wanted to work with Richard, Jim and Mima again – the dream team for me.”

Lexicon, which could give Will his fifth UK Number 1 album this Friday, has strands of Echoes’ DNA running through it. Unlike its fore-bearer, Will did not write all of the songs the time, but the feeling of its predecessor is evident thanks to Richard X’s production.

Lexicon is your first album released through an independent label. How does it compare to a major?
“I’m not at a point where I think ‘I should have done this sooner’ but I am having a real laugh. Cooking Vinyl are being brilliant. I don’t think we’ve had any arguments… yet. I’m with a PR team who I absolutely adore - they get me. You know, as a gay artist, it’s nice to be with people who get me on all levels. It’s actually really important to me. And working with a producer who makes me work so hard… to the point that I do slightly resent him. Not having management I think is very freeing because I don’t feel that pressure. And working with people like [photographer/music video director] Rankin too, it all seemed to come together. Two videos too!”

Is that it for music videos from this album then?
“It better not be! I love the third single. I think it might be Ground Running. That’s a real goodie. I almost wanted it to be the second single. But then I haven’t done a ballad for so long. I love ballads. I kind of want to do an amazing ballad album. But anyway...”

It's your first album released on vinyl. Any chance some of your back catalogue will follow? Echoes would be a good start...
“Ohhh I’d love it on vinyl as well. That album really is a complete body of work. You can listen to it from start to finish and it is a body of work. I don’t know how that happened, but it did."

Runaway in particular sounds like a bridge between Echoes and Lexicon.
“That is one of the band’s favourite songs. They’re like ‘I know you’re going to take this out if the set’s too long’ because of all the hits and singles but the band love it, and I love it. It's like an audio bath – wash over me! There’s a song on Lexicon called Say Anything – that’s my Runaway song on this record.

Runaway was done with Jonno Sloan who did a lot of stuff with Empire of the Sun. I wanted to do more with him actually. I’m not sure where he is. People were really interested in sonics and I feel like that’s slightly gone at the moment. Richard X is brilliant for that on this album. Sonics for me make the best pop music. So basically all the best Sugababes songs.”

You’ve recorded songs you didn’t write on this album, which you haven’t done in a while. Why did you make that decision?
“Two things actually. One, there are a lot of great writers out there, so why not? It’s like curating – I still know what I want. It took the pressure off. Two, I’ve never been massively confident about my song writing, which is silly. I have a funny relationship with it. Forever was written three years ago actually, and then All The Songs - which I do think is one of the best songs. I have ever written. In my life.

“But you know, it was lovely to sing a Boy Matthews song [Freedom]. It was f**king difficult, but it was lovely. It’s a different challenge to sing someone else’s song, it is really difficult. Opening it up just made it so much easier for me. Not in a throwaway way, but [writing songs] could get a bit like groundhog day. Being a bit scientific and getting caught up in writing a radio hit. Like Forever was definitely not writing for radio.”

What was the song selection process like?
“It was great. A&R-ing my own record was really fun. I listened to about 250 songs. I suppose because of doing some acting, I love getting a script. I love being directed. So I thought, ‘why can’t I do that in music?’"

Is there any that you have saved for the future?
“No, but there was one that went [to another act] which was a shame. It was really cool. It was really fun to sing. But it was very interesting. And very frustrating. This is very industry this, isn’t it? I like this.

"I will say it’s difficult for writers. I know people who have had songs on big, big stars’ albums and they’ve earned £150 for the song. Some writers get paid more just to hang onto their songs. Lots of people just wouldn’t give me their song unless it was going to be a single, because it’s just not worth their while. And I really understood that.

Lots of people didn’t though, someone like Eg White – I love that man. I’m either going to sit there and think of everything that I don’t have, or I concentrate on the things I do get and celebrate those."

You told us back in 2015 that Jealousy is your favourite song. Does any track from Lexicon match up?
“To be honest, I would have to go All The Songs. There’s something about that song. I’d love for them to have a head-to-head in pop analysis! All The Songs is different because it’s almost that non-chorus chorus, where as Jealousy is the opposite. I’ll have to wait and see until I do All The Songs live. At the moment, Jealousy is still a bit of a biggie. But then you can’t forget Evergreen.”

Which is the best-selling debut single ever by a solo artist and third overall…
“What are the other ones?”

Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s Relax and Unchained Melody by Robson & Jerome.
“F**k off. I love that it’s third. Also I kind of love Robson & Jerome. Look at f**king Jerome! He ends up in bloody Game of Thrones. I might end up in a Lord of the Rings spin-off!”

I dont get why they dont reduce it on Amazon to £7.99, that'd get him the extra sales. Also, he could put My Love down to 59p.

Only mega fans are gonna buy it from his official store realistically, the general public/casual buyer sales will mostly come from supermarkets, HMV, Online retailers and Amazon/iTunes.

I really hope he can hold onto the #1 spot. Would be just fantastic to get a #1 album 17 years into his career, wow! To be fair even if it lands at #2 that is still a fantastic achievement. He definitely made the right decision, he would have been #5 based on his sales so far if he had released last week!

Just a shame he cancelled the London, Reading and Brighton signings! He’s easily lost 800+ impulse sales by not doing those nocheer.gif

Apparently reports say only about 20 people attended the Birmingham signing yesterday, so that must have played a part.

Posted by: ___∆___ Jun 27 2019, 08:32 AM

Schedule conflicts apparently huh.gif To cancel 3 out of 4 is quite poor.

Im guessing not many wrist bands got picked up for the events? But I don’t think that’s a good indication - I was going to go to the London one and get a wrist band on arrival - when he cancelled that I was going to do the same in Reading. If sales end up being close he could have easily cost himself the #1 spot by not doing these.

20 people . No wonder he cancelled that is embarrassing for him.

Posted by: sajjadali Jun 27 2019, 01:21 PM

I think his audience is no longer the fan-stan type with posters and hoards of 1D type hysteria, it's more of a mature Radio 2 type audience. I think he should have done a signing in London...apparently someone was saying that they didn't have an online option to get booked on for the signing and that may have played a part? He's not that unpopular..he's sold 14k this week..! They were fairly random locations also..why not Manchester?

There’s different reports on numbers, I’ve seen 60, 30 and 20.

He’s got plenty of fans who will have ordered full packages from his own merchandise store on day one, downloaded from the likes of Apple, and who have no need or desire to do the stan thing of travelling to turn up for another cd and the chance to get a signed copy from him when they never set foot in HMV any more anyway.

😍If you are a @willyoung fan IMPORTANT!
****BUY more copies and STREAM 'Lexicon' today if you want to get Will to No.1 on the UK Album Charts.

He could be overtaken by Lewis Capaldi, it's so close!
You have till Midnight! 😍

This! You couldn’t reserve wristbands online like you could in the past for HMV signings so they really had no indication who was going to show up.

Prefer All The Songs over the new single personally but both are decent. Didn't realise till I read in the newspaper that My Love was filmed in my town lol. Its not like anyone films anything here.

Impressed that he's got another top 2 album nearly 20 years later and from someone who won a talent show as well!

Yes it’s great, but the reason is that he was never your archetypal talent show winner, there’s much more to him than meets the eye as well as his wonderful singing ability.

Posted by: dandy* Jun 29 2019, 04:25 PM

Have to applaud him, he has managed to get a really successful career from a talent show. Probably helped that he was one of the first but definitely helped that he took control and didn’t allow himself to be promoted as an of the moment pop star releasing endless cover versions. Was listening to the Friday’s Child album the other day and it still sounds great.

Reminds me of Friday's Child being filmed in my old hometown (Saltdean) and the basic swimming pool I used to go to (Newhaven), seemed so random to me as nobody ever goes to or even knows of these places laugh.gif

Anyway, this album is really good. Get Me Dancing and Ground Running are my initial standouts but the whole album is so solid, cohesive and consistent. Good for him getting another top two album so many years into his career!

Agree with your comments about the album, I’ve played it a great deal and there’s not one track I dislike.

My favourite place in the album is from Say Anything to The Way Wr Were then back to the beginning for All Songs, My Love, and Scars, Get Me Dancing and Ground Running. It all flows so well. wub.gif

So many failed opportunities for singles

From Now On...i would have loved 'Over You' to be released. It's a corker!

Friday's Child....Out Of My Mind is a real gem. This is though an OUTSTANDING album, one of my fave by any artist of all time.

Keep On...I think Ain't Such A Bad Place To Be / Madness could have really worked well. Under-rated! Not a bad title track either...

Let It Go....I Won't Give Up is a real groover...reminds me of Your Game. Then, Tell Me The Worst really showcases Will vocally as does If Love Equals Nothing - thats the sort of song that sells albums.

Echoes....so many? Hearts On Fire, Happy Now, Silent Valentine? Need i continue...

85% Proof...not as strong in terms of singles and i think they got it mostly right but U Think I'm Sexy was really different and cool for me..

Lexicon...it'd be criminal not to release Ground Running. Scars gave me goosebumps the first time i heard it.

Posted by: sajjadali Jul 16 2019, 06:23 AM

'Ground Running' confirmed as the third single.

Added to Will's singles playlist a week ago on Spotify!

Album reduced to £5 on Amazon

It's had good longevity in the album physical sales UK chart. Streaming obviously letting him down...

Posted by: ___∆___ Sep 26 2019, 01:28 PM

Abbey Road special today Dermot o Leary sessions - new single and Golden Slumbers he performed. Decent interview too, no mention of a official vid!

Saw Will on the third night of his tour at Birmingham Symphony Hall last night, fabulous show, he’s so brilliant live.

Whoah, what a awful setlist for the the new tour. Barely any Lexicon, and all the wrong songs! This isn't a hits tour.

Also, damn no video for Ground Running but i guess we gotta understand he's with a independent record label. I wanted a Strictly performance!


I'd have done the following setlist.


All The Songs (What other song could he POSSIBLY launch with!?)
My Love (Crowd pleaser)
Light My Fire
Scars

Jealously (Explain how this album came about)
Losing Myself
Brave Man
All Time Love/ I Just Want A Lover (New Mix)

Love Revolution
Get Me Dancing
You Need To Calm Down (Cover)
Forever/Freedom
I Bet You Call

Dreaming Big
Ground Running
Leave Right Now

Joy (Encore)

Saw him last night at Manchester Apollo. He put on a great show but there was only 2 songs from the new album?? Also he didn't sing Jealousy which is my favourite single from him so I was bitterly disappointed about that sad.gif

I saw Will on Monday, 1st time and been fan since the start and thought he was really good, I was a little disappointed in the setlist as not more songs from 'Lexicon' performed even though the tour guide bills it as the 'Lexicon' tour, but he did perform Jealousy and Ground Running 2 of my faves so was happy with that, he's also really entertaining and charismatic was a thoroughly enjoyable evening

Great news today that Will's going to be doing summer shows next year! cheer.gif

First announcement is Kew The Music at Kew Gardens on Friday 10 July, 2020.

So pleased after his triumphant return to touring last month with 21 dates successfully completed. He's an even better singer than ever and that's saying something. biggrin.gif

Such a great album but a really confused release strategy...I physically HATE the All The Songs video. Also, no single covers for the first two singles but we have one for Forever yah! Christmas Time was a good idea but I'd have preferred a uptempo Xmas song from Will.


All The Songs first single with the video concept of My Love
Second single Ground Running to launch the album with an awesome vid with backup dancers
Third single Scars for me.
But I get the love for Forever too...

Does "Ground Running" was a single? and if yes, when it was released officialy as a single. Thanks

There was no single version released. It was only available as the album track.

The lyric video was released on 4th September 2019 if you want to use that as a date.

Thanks,
Because i'm making a playlist per year with order of single released date. But for this song i thought it was released as a single but look like not. So sadly i need to remove it sad.gif

It depends on your definition of single.
Many don't get a single track release but they still class them as a single.
