English-Irish Boyband sensation The Wanted definitely showed off another side to themselves in their dramatic music video for their new single "Show Me Love (America)," serves as the fifth single from their forthcoming long delayed third album, "Word Of Mouth," which were originally due to release in September last year but fan's won't hear it now until November 4th via Island Records.
Nathan Sykes said when the song was announced: "It started with me writing a simple piano ballad and has ended up incorporating a 14 piece string orchestra!" Sykes explained to MTV UK that the slow jam is about the struggles of having a relationship in the showbiz world. "And it's just saying to someone 'I could have shown you the world but obviously we're on different paths.' I think that's kind of how a lot of people in this industry kind of feel, but I think it's very relatable to a lot of the fans as well because sometimes in life that just happens and people end up on different paths and it just doesn't work out," Sykes added.
"I think some of it will be what you'd expect, which are party songs and club mixes," the group's Jay McGuiness told Billboard. "But there will be some that I think are more reflective of two years of some struggle. So you don't want hands in the air for a struggle song. You want an orchestra and want to emote a little and hopefully there's a mix of both." The Wanted boys are no strangers to fun, but the vocal group turns serious and smile-free in its new music video for "Show Me Love (America)," a black-and-white slice of melodrama that involves heavy rain and heavier hearts. It's full-blown, unabashed boy band material.
In the Frank Borin-directed video, The Wanted boys in suits standing on stage together and performing in an elegant theater backed by a string orchestra as they observe a couple in the throes of relationship turbulence, before becoming part of the story themselves. McGuiness poses as a homeless man, George catches a glance as a police officer, Sykes screams in the rain and Parker abides against a street lamp with an acoustic guitar clutched in his hands. The straight-faced clip turns into high drama in the final minute, as young Sykes gets the final, harrowing word in the boy band's latest single.
