Will Young is back with his new single, Falling Deep, lifted from the forthcoming album, ‘Light It Up’.
The track is the first to be lifted from the hitmaker’s ninth studio album – his first since the 2022 covers collection, ‘Crying On The Bathroom Floor’ – out August 9 on BMG.
The 10-track collection sees the singer-songwriter team up with new collaborators, pHD, the Scandinavian pop production/writing duo who has worked with Little Mix.
He also reunites with Andy Cato of Groove Armada and long-term writing partners Jim and Mima Elliot, who worked on Will’s 2011 album, ‘Echoes’.
“I think for me it was about finally feeling more content and being able to go back to embracing joyous unashamed pop music,” says Will of the record. “I really hope this is the go-to pop album for a dance, for a cry and for a celebration. I know I do all three with it.”
Will Young’s new album, ‘Light It Up’, is available to pre-order here. Listen to the new single, Falling Deep, and watch the music video below.

To celebrate the new album, Will is embarking on his most intimate tour yet – taking shape as an up close and personal evening of acoustic performances, stories and conversation.
“I’m very excited to be going to a lot of places I haven’t been,” he reflects. “I wanted to go to smaller venues so I could properly get around the country rather than just playing the big cities.”
