The Script have announced that Arms Open will be their next UK single to be taken from Freedom Child. The Irish three-piece confirmed it as their new single and performed it on BBC1’s Strictly Come Dancing Results Show last night.
Arms Open, written by The Script with Nasri Atweh in Los Angeles, is the second single to be taken from Freedom Child, The Script’s fourth #1 album. A welcoming, embracing anthem, The Script added, “We wanted to have something that felt positive. When everything is going badly, our arms are open. It’s a simple, strong message, delivered in a heartland Script sort of way.”
It’s been a whirlwind few months for the three-piece. Their new album Freedom Child topped the UK Official Albums Chart and stormed into the Top 10 in various countries around the world. Freedom Child sees the band presenting a collection of urgent, timely, future-facing anthems that speak of both real-life events and real-time sonic adventurism. The album was recorded between London and Los Angeles and can be purchased/streamed from http://smarturl.it/FreedomChild.
The band followed the release of Freedom Child by announcing their 2018 UK & Ireland Arena tour, kicking off in Leeds on 2nd February.
