The Wanted have teamed up with music video company VEVO to release a vid for ‘Lightning Hits’, the third single to be taken from the band’s forthcoming second studio album.
The single, due out on October 30th, features the band and some girlfriends partying around in a field, with a fireworks display lights up the sky. And, as you can expect with any boy band nowadays, the video features some risqué shots of the lads and will most likely send their female fans wild.
The group, who reached #1 with their fifth single ‘Glad You Came’, also recently discussed their second album, saying they had decided to pen this record entirely themselves.
“We've pretty much written the whole second album ourselves. We went to a load of writing places. We wrote a little bit on the first album but this time we owned it. We didn't just sit in the room and watch it happen. We crafted this one. It's really exciting.
“There's one track we think is going to be our single and our record label Island are trying to line us up with some big USA artists so that is something to look out for. This album we did one track as all five and then we separated into twos again and with other co-writers but we are in the flow now of how to do it.”
