As the world of pop music continues to evolve, one boyband is making sure they stay ahead of the curve. The Wanted, a British-Irish quintet that has captured hearts with their blend of contemporary pop and catchy hooks, have just revealed the cover art for their latest single, "We Own The Night." The highly anticipated track will be available for download starting August 11, 2013, and is expected to be one of the standout hits from their upcoming third studio album, Word of Mouth, set for release on September 16.
A Step Toward Maturity
If Maroon 5 are the new Backstreet Boys in the modern battle of male pop groups, The Wanted are often seen as the new 'Nsync—a boyband that brings a more mature, melodic sound to the table, paired with a slicker, less punchy musical approach. While the group's earlier work was filled with radio-friendly pop tracks, they've steadily evolved with each release, giving fans a sound that's both contemporary and enduring. Their previous albums showcased their ability to craft hit after hit, with chart-toppers like "Glad You Came" and "Chasing The Sun."
Now, as they gear up for their third studio effort, Word of Mouth, The Wanted are embracing a new sonic direction while still staying true to the sound that made them household names. The single "We Own The Night" promises to be another example of their growth, combining mature, anthemic pop with the youthful energy that defines the band's unique charm.
The Cover Art and What It Represents
The cover art for "We Own The Night" was unveiled via The Wanted's official Twitter account, adding an exciting visual element to the anticipation surrounding the song. The image showcases the band in full glam mode, dressed in dark, sleek outfits with a moody, nighttime backdrop that fits the song's title and lyrical theme of seizing the moment and living in the now. The bold, sleek design is a reflection of The Wanted’s polished, grown-up image—something they've carefully cultivated as they move into the next chapter of their career.
A Strong Build-Up
"We Own The Night" will join previously released tracks from Word of Mouth on the album, including "Chasing The Sun," "I Found You," and "Walks Like Rihanna." Each of these songs has already begun to make waves in the pop charts, showcasing the group's ability to stay relevant while pushing the boundaries of their sound.
While "Chasing The Sun" and "I Found You" both leaned toward upbeat, radio-friendly anthems, "We Own The Night" is expected to push the envelope even further, offering a mix of infectious melody and anthemic power. The song is likely to be the kind of track that you’ll want to blast on repeat as you head out for a night of fun with friends—perfect for the summer season.
What's Next for The Wanted?
As Word of Mouth inches closer to its September release, The Wanted’s momentum is undeniable. The band has spent the past few months gearing up for the album’s debut, and the excitement around "We Own The Night" is just the beginning. With the combination of new music, a reality show that keeps fans connected, and an ever-growing fanbase, The Wanted are set to continue dominating the pop scene for years to come.
Be sure to mark your calendars for August 11, when "We Own The Night" drops, and keep an eye out for the full Word of Mouth album on September 16. If the past few singles are any indication, The Wanted’s third album will be their strongest yet—proof that they truly do own the night.
