In a letter to his "17 year old self," Fender explains: "17 is when all the challenges begin: you're not a baby, but you're definitely not an adult (turns out that bit takes a lot longer than you think)."
Seventeen Going Under is the title track of Sam Fender's long-awaited second album, the follow-up to 2019's Hypersonic Missiles.
Says Sam: "This album is a coming of age story. It’s about growing up. It’s a celebration of life after hardship, and it’s a celebration of surviving."
Released on 8 October, the album was recorded in North Shields and produced with Bramwell Bronte.
