CALUM SCOTT SWOONS ON BRIGHT NEW BALLAD
“MY WORLD”
LISTEN HERE
Friday 4 October – London, UK: Multi-platinum-selling singer/songwriter Calum Scott gives us
another reason to celebrate his musical canon: “My World,” a romantic ballad complete with piano,
strings, and a surge of epic production. Listen HERE and watch the lyric video HERE.
With his blissed-out summer anthem “Roots” still making waves among Calum’s globe-spanning
fanbase “My World” hits like the changing of the seasons.
Produced by
LVLS and longtime collaborator Jon “MAGS” Maguire (Jax Jones, Tiesto), and co-written by
Calum, Maguire, Josh Record (Avicii, DNCE), and Adrien Nookadu (M-22), among others, the
new single balances the artist’s deep emotional resonance with a sound that uplifts the listener.Says Calum, “‘My World’ is a new way of saying ‘I love you’ – it is a return to the ballad for me with
classic songwriting but with fresh production that I‘m really excited to share! Having toured in stadiums
with Ed Sheeran for the last 9 months and watching, in particular, the emotional songs resonate with
thousands of people across the globe, I’m looking forward to be coming back with something that I think
my fans will really love! I have worked with some new writers on this one too and am excited to keep
exploring my diversity and seeing what else I am capable of!’
As “My World” begins, Calum doesn’t waste a second making his devotion known: “I talk in my sleep
every night, and think of the wrongs I’d make right, so I can give you my all undivided…” The keys and strings
never sound too heavy — instead, there’s a slight sway that emphasizes the optimism in the lyrics. And
when Calum delivers the chorus, the drop hits, underscoring his sincerity with warm bass synths and
lilting drums: “I’d pull down the moon, I’d go to space / To the end of the universe, I wouldn’t hesitate / Just to
make you see that you got all of me, and you are my world.”
“My World” follows not just “Roots” but also breezy dance-pop cut “Then There Was You” —
which happened to be the lead single from The Garfield Movie (Original Motion Picture
Soundtrack) — and “Lighthouse,” a pounding, panoramic love song accompanied by a breathtakingly
cinematic video. The recent series of singles has served to spotlight Calum’s more lighthearted side
and pop-leaning sensibilities without sacrificing his gift for expressing big feelings.
Fittingly, Calum’s become known for a life-affirming live show that fosters an incredibly close
connection with the crowd. In August, he wrapped an outing performing at stadiums across Asia and
Europe as support for Ed Sheeran’s extended Mathematics Tour. Starting 3 October in Montreal,
he’ll head back out on his own The Songbook So Far North American tour with support from rising
Irish singer/songwriter Cian Ducrot. The run concludes on 15 October in Highland, CA.
The Songbook So Far Tour will showcase songs from Calum’s gold-certified 2018 debut album
Only Human (featuring his 5X platinum smash “You Are The Reason” and 3X platinum cover
of Robyn’s “Dancing On My Own”), 2022’s sophomore set Bridges (with soul-stirring hits like
“Rise,” “Biblical,” and “If You Ever Change Your Mind”), and his forthcoming third album — the
details of which he has yet to share.
Stay tuned as Calum Scott continues to reveal more of his world.
