New Hope Club Releases New Song “Trouble In Paradise”
British pop trio New Hope Club, consisting of Reece Bibby, Blake Richardson and George Smith, released their brand new single called “Trouble In Paradise” on September 6, 2024.
The song is the second single of 2024, following “Can't Lose This Fight”, which was the official song for a heavyweight professional boxing match between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.
The track was written by Blake Richardson, George Smith, Reece Bibby, and Ross Golan. Produced by John Ryan and Blake Richardson.
The band said of the song, “'Trouble in Paradise' is a song about gut-wrenching disappointment," says the band. "It all started with a relationship that was so good in the beginning but like a lot of things, began to unravel. We’ve all been there, when a relationship burns so hot in the beginning but then fizzles just as quickly. The initial love bubble. Then the ‘oh s’ realization.”- They continued, “We also wrote it at a time when we had first decided to move to Los Angeles, and were quickly finding out that the city isn’t quite paradise either. While the lyrics are about something that makes you want to scream into your pillow, we wanted to make the sound something completely different, something you can dance to and feel empowered by.”

They added, “We are huge fans of The Police / Sting and wanted to experiment with what a New Hope Club take could sound like with the help of Ross Golan and John Ryan. We ended up with this driving but sort of haunting beat that sonically takes you through the realization that there might be ‘trouble in paradise.’ We wrote this song back in 2021, but have had it stuck in our heads ever since. We played it on our most recent world tour and it was immediately a fan favourite. Fans knew all of the words after the first show and have never stopped trolling our comments asking us to release. But the time is now!! We are about to embark on our UK/US tour and it’s the perfect end of summer song...the end of paradise if you will. We can’t wait to share it with the world!” - source : Apple Music
