Nathan Sykes continues to tease fans ahead of the release of his new album ‘Ultraviolet‘, coming 17th October, with the release of new single ‘Butterflies'.
The follow-up to the summer pop of ‘Getting Lost', ‘Butterflies' is a universal take on first love. You can take a listen to the song below:
Nathan says, “While writing the album, I wrestled with the balance between telling stories through moments of introversion – something I’ve often not been afforded the space to do previously – to just letting go and having my big pop moments. As soon as we stumbled upon ‘Butterflies’, I knew this was the song that captured the latter perfectly.
It’s about that feeling you get in your stomach; nervous, excited, giddy – thinking about someone new, someone you’ve known forever and the fun that person brings. The song came together quickly once we got there and it just as quickly sticks in everyone’s heads who hears it – it’s one of my favourite moments of the album and I can’t wait for everyone to hear it.”
‘Butterflies' was written by Sykes with producer Tobie Tripp (George Ezra, Tom Grennan) and co-writers David Sneddon (Lana Del Rey, Lewis Capaldi) and Theo Hutchcraft (Calvin Harris, Måneskin), while mixing was provided by Steve Fitzmaurice (Sam Smith).
‘Ultraviolet’ is now available to pre-order / pre-save HERE. It will be released on purple, vinyl, picture disc vinyl, CD and cassette plus digital/download formats. All album bundles include a signed art print.
Earlier this year, Nathan returned to live action by playing a London show at Omeara which sold-out in just five minutes. His set mixed big hits and fan favourites from his first chapter, such as ‘Over And Over Again’ and ‘Almost Is Never Enough’, with a wealth of new material. Next up are two October headline shows, remaining tickets for which are available now.

29th – Manchester, Deaf Institute
