But, this track, like most numbers coming out of his stable, has all the trinkets to climb the music charts. It’s an apt song for the upcoming summer season, full of happy notes and peppy tunes. However, those who are not fascinated by the gaming community will have little to look forward to in its video.
Walker collaborates with Conor Maynard for this track, that sees their animated avatars fight an evil regime of the Red Nexus.
The musician says the track was composed during his time spent in isolation amid the pandemic, when he wanted to give people hope.
