“It’s a great anthem. Even though it’s not the last track on the record, it’s a great way to finalise the album. It says it all, really.
“We love creating songs where we can take them to the stage and make people feel as one - one with themselves, with us - and when that happens, it‘s overwhelming.”
“The song titles keep coming at me. Sometimes I think that if you have the perfect title, the rest of the tune will come to you if you just let it.
"With United, we wanted our fans to know that we were just like them. We weren’t this rich, money-making machine; we were just regular guys trying to forge our way in the world. We were normal people, but together, we had incredible strength.”
