“Turn it up loud when you hear it on the radio.”
Originally recorded by Five Star, the single is co-produced by 7th Heaven and The Alias, with Steps revealing ahead of its release: “We are SUCH massive fans of Five Star, when we started brainstorming a possible cover idea to include on ‘What The Future Holds Pt. 2’ this felt like the natural choice.
“They are absolute idols of ours and have always dreamed about giving one of their songs a euphoric Steps makeover. We are SO excited about the end result and hope fans love it as much as our part covers like Chain Reaction and Tragedy.”
In a review of the album, Retro Pop said ‘What The Future Holds Pt. 2’ is packed with “wall-to-wall pop precision” and “paves the way for the band’s 25th anniversary celebrations in 2022”.
‘What The Future Holds Pt. 2’ is available on CD, LP and Cassette.
