Sam Fender is pleased to release an acoustic recording of his hit single, ‘Seventeen Going Under’, sharing the vocals with the new BRIT Rising Star winner, Holly Humberstone.

The original recording of the track, released earlier this year as an introduction to Sam’s critically acclaimed, number one second album of the same title, has become a runaway viral sensation, enjoying three weeks in the UK top ten singles chart whilst racking up tens of millions of streams across the globe.

The original track went viral on Tik Tok as it was used as the soundtrack for survivors of assault and abuse, as they document what, who, and how they were hurt and how they wished they’d reacted to their abuser.

As a result, the hashtag #samfender has been viewed 34.1 million times and #samfendermusic 3.8 million times, and the song has been catapulted into the Viral charts, not just Globally and in the UK but particularly in Australia. Aussie fans have streamed the song almost 2 million times in the last few weeks, catapulting us into position as his third largest audience behind his native UK and the USA.

It’s another timely example of just how far-reaching Sam Fender’s music has become in 2021, with a record that has touched a nerve and touched hearts too. Sam’s has been a success story unparalleled over the course of the past twelve months, taking these songs from his bedroom floor in Newcastle, to two sold out Wembley Arenas next Spring.

And to cap an incredible year for the North Shields artist, he now shares this gorgeously understated version of ‘Seventeen Going Under’, focusing the attention squarely on those tender, emotionally raw lyrics and the sheer power of two unique, and distinctly individual voices.

Grantham born Holly Humberstone has become the breakthrough artist of the year, today picking up the BRIT Rising Star Award following over twelve months of sustained, unavoidable buzz and acclaim. During their recording session Sam surprised Holly and presented her with the award, he had previously won the award in 2018. Holly released her debut EP, Falling Asleep At The Wheel, to widespread media support in 2020, which introduced the 21-year-olds dark and richly expressive alternative pop.

Holly now brings her haunting, mellifluous vocal to one of the undisputed songs of the year to cap an extraordinary twelve months for both artists.
