“It’s a bit different, isn’t it?” asks George about the single. “It’s more of a club record than the last few. Hopefully it should get us back some of our older fans. It’s more us. It’s more…more about sex.”
What does he mean?
“Well, ‘Wake Me Up’ was sexual on a kind of soap opera level.” You mean it was very kind of kiss and cuddle whereas this is…”more about sex. Yes. I don’t know why I wrote like that on the last album. But anyway, the new one will be more us, closer to the way we are now. When we started, it was alright to say ’18 year olds – they haven’t had much sex’, but at 22! People fall in love…the rest of the time they have sex. If you can combine sex and fun, like ‘I’m Your Man’, then it’s great…”
