Written by Ward Thomas alongside Rebekah Powell and Jessica Sharman (who also co-wrote recent single âLie Like Meâ) and produced by Joe Rubel (Ed Sheeran, Tom Grennan), âNever Knowâ, is an empowering, arms-aloft pop anthem that they call their âranty songâ and if you listen carefully, secretly features a reversed sample of a dog growl!
âNever Knowâ is a song we have always wanted to writeâ say the girls; âItâs for anyone who has been rejected in a friendship, relationship or in work. But out of that rejection comes empowerment and a sense of freedom and release which gives you the courage to do what you believe in and be yourself.â
Ward Thomas play the following UK dates with tickets on sale at 9am Friday the 12th of October with a special fan pre-sale starting at 9am on Wednesday 10th October. For more info visit www.wardthomasmusic.com.
