The track was written by Carl Falk, Kristian Lundin, and Savan Kotecha. Produced by The Vamps.
The band said in s statement, “A crazy thought that we released Meet The Vamps 10 years ago, we can't tell you how much that album means to us, and we love that it means a lot to others as well. It represents friendship, love, heartbreak, ups/downs, and everything that comes with growing up. We were so young and didn't really know what we were doing, making this album is some of the best days of our lives.”- They continued, “We had to do something special for the anniversary, and we thought a tour to celebrate this milestone is the perfect way to do this. Over the past few years it's been amazing being able to reflect on our time as a band and the journey we have been on. Now, going right back to where it all began – 'Meet The Vamps' – we owe a lot to that album! You [the fans] just got it and got us, and since then it's been a dream ride! We can't thank you enough, see you on tour!”
The added, “We had such a good time getting back into the studio to see what we'd do with 'Somebody To You' and to challenge ourselves to recreate past music – we think you're going to love it!” -
The band shared on social media, “Last summer we moved out to the countryside for a few weeks, had some laughs and some drinks, made some new friends (and took along one of our own), played a banjo or two and chose some of our favourite songs and ReVamped them.” - source : Apple Music
