Atomic Kitten is a trio again after former member Jenny Frost returned to the group for a new version of their classic hit Whole Again.
The group hit the top of the charts with their classic 2001 track, co-written by OMD star Andy McCluskey, along with Stuart Kershaw, Jem Godfrey and Bill Padley.
In the new version, re-titled Southgate You’re the One (Football’s Coming Home Again), the group borrows the football-themed lyrics conceived by England fans in support of manager Gareth Southgate.
“Looking back on when we first met / I cannot escape and I cannot forget / Southgate, you’re the one / You still turn me on / Football’s coming home again,” they sing, referencing David Baddiel, Frank Skinner and The Lightning Seeds’ Three Lions.
And after performing it live over the weekend, which saw England beat Ukraine 4-0 to reach the semi-finals of Euro 2020, the girls hit the studio to lay down vocals on a new studio version of the tune.
Announcing the re-release, the trio shared on social media: “It’s been a whirlwind couple of days, but we are super excited and grateful to be able to contribute to the awesome energy and patriotism that is filling the England Streets with a brand new version of Whole Again.
“Totally inspired by the England Football fans in support of Gareth Southgate and the super talented England Football team, we Liz, Natasha and Jenny will be singing loud and proud ‘Football’s Coming Home’!”
Southgate You’re the One (Football’s Coming Home Again) is available now on digital platforms.
