Yass. Excited! How did I miss this!

Agree that single cover should be the album cover, it’s stunning.

 

What was the announcement?

Was there a first play?

 

Radio 2 Live event in Manchester, Tuesday 10th of August.

 

First play on BBC Radio 2 tomorrow.

That went from :nocheer: to :w00t: in about a minute :lol:

Edited July 28, 20213 yr by Ghosty.

It sounds like it’ll be a proper single with video and dance routine.

 

24hrs to go.

 

Sorry for all the posts, I’m more than just a little excited.

Great cover and looking forward to hear the song :yahoo:

Official lyrics: https://genius.com/Steps-take-me-for-a-ride-lyrics

The lyrics seem good to me, just a little more hyped for this.

The preview has an 80s feel to it!

It's written by Mark Topham & Karl Twigg, making the first Topham song for Steps since the Buzz era!

 

Karl said this back in January, it could be about Take Me for a Ride:

 

“Myself and Mark have penned three or four songs… Which is our first co-pen for about 10 years! We’ve written a new track, which we penned about three months ago now, and it is f**king amazing. It’s probably one of the best songs we’ve ever written. In fact, there’s about three that we’ve penned that are just stone-cold monster hits.”

 

Despite the pair’s celebrated history with the group, Karl insists they’ve “avoided the whole nostalgia thing” on the new tracks, but described the songs as “bangers”.

 

Although he was unable to confirm any further details about a possible new album from the Steps, he explains: “The band’s got to move on, but we’ve moved on quite a lot as well.

 

“So anything we do for Steps in the future is not going to sound nostalgic at all. It’s going to sound groundbreaking.

 

“There are parts [in the new tracks]that are very Depeche Mode for the boys to sing, so they get their own featured vocal, and each part is such a hook.

 

“On this new stuff, there is no letdown at all,” he adds. “From the minute the song starts to the little outro adlibs, your attention is 100% pulled into it.

 

“There’s so much going on and so much moving melodically, production-wise… It’s just fantastic!”

Some Popjustice members have pointed out how the instrumental/the beat is reminiscent of The Saturdays - Up and Take That - Love Love, and I hear it!

I can pick up a tiny in of love love by take that in the clip and for me that's a good thing.

Oh, I like it! Really looking forward to hear the full song :cheer:

Hmm I'm not really sure to be honest. Think I'll need to hear the full thing first.

I really want to hear the full version. I wonder how high it will go on itunes?

Can definitely hear The Saturdays’ Up in that with a smattering of Donkeyboy’s Silver Moon. Looking forward to hearing the full version and the video too. I wonder whether we’ll get that tomorrow as well? I can’t remember whether we got the WTFH video on the same day as release? :unsure:

Is it tomorrow morning we get this?

Is it tomorrow morning we get this?

 

I believe so. 8am

 

5pm for us here in Australia.

 

I’ve listened to the preview again and can now hear bits of Love Love (Take That) and Up (The Saturdays) as well. Which is a good thing as Up is one of my favourite The .Saturdays songs.

On the BBC Radio 2 website .intending now!

 

Excited!

 

I really liked it on first listen, waiting for it to come on Spotify to give it a few more listens.

 

The lyrics posted earlier are accurate though.

The production is great and I love the verses a lot. Not sure the chorus is what I was expecting, I thought it was a bridge leading into something bigger initially! As far as lead singles go it’s quite subtle for them without having that big chorus.

I'm hearing a lot of 'Liar' from Claire's solo album in this track.

 

On to my third listen and it's growing.

Hmm I'm not quite sure if this is good or not. It is really subtle and quite laid back in a few ways although I do like the production. I do wish it had more of a hook although I do think it'll grow on me.
