Who created a love song for Southgate to the tune of Atomic Kitten’s Whole Again and can they please step forward to collect their prize #ENGCOL /F3EK9zbvy6Īs with the other England songs from this World Cup, it’s taken a few days to filter back home from Russia, but expect to hear this everywhere when England play Sweden in the quarter-finals on Saturday. Southgate you’re the one… #Walkabout #EngCol #FootballsComingHome /HrC6beZqMG “Southgate you’re the one, you still turn me on…” ? #ENG fans take over Kaliningrad. “Football’s coming home again” (or “You can bring it home again”.It’s being sung in Russia, but also in streets, bars and pubs here in the UK.
“Southgate, you’re the one you still turn me on “Looking back on when we first met I cannot escape and I cannot forget
For anyone who needs a quick reminder to join in on Wednesday night, here’s the all-important chorus …. "SOUTHGATE YOU'RE THE ONE, YOU STILL TURN ME ON, FOOTBALL'S COMING HOME AGAIN" ? /PwQPITroLj “Just to hear the fans singing it in the stands was amazing for us, so we’ve been loving this so much and we’ll just see where it goes.” And he said ‘imagine if they actually win the Euros’ but I don’t even think my brain’s gone that far yet. “I was with my brother Joe after we’d done the recording on Monday night and my phone was ringing non-stop, it was just like the Kitten days. She doesn’t really dare think ahead to Sunday, and the what ifs around England in the final – although Jenny has been Covid tested and has flown in from Ibiza so anything could happen. There has to be a very good reason for me to agree to come into the studio with a hangover… /HPH5r8CNcs And the better England do the better the song’s likely to do as well so we’ve got even more invested in it.” I want England to win all the time, of course, so now I’m like, I hope the song does well, I hope England do well. “It’s so exciting but to be honest it’s quite nerve-wracking as well. Now with the Southgate version coming out in time for the England v Denmark game at Wembley, Blues fan Liz says she’s got double the excitement – and double the nerves. “We can go all over the world, and as soon as Whole Again starts everyone starts singing along, even if they didn’t know Atomic Kitten they know that song,” says Liz. It’s been covered by at least three different bands in the US too. It was number one for a month in the UK, in Germany for two months and Australia for nine weeks. The song, which is 20 years old this year, has been good to the Kittens over the past two decades. “We thought it was a great idea, then a big record company came in and it’s all gone from there.” “He said, ‘I think you should record this because everyone’s going mad for it’,” says Liz. Liz says since then her phone hasn’t stopped ringing, and it was then that her friend Scotty who was the Kittens’ marketing manager suggested the new version really needed to happen. “We couldn’t believe the reaction, we only realised afterwards what a massive deal it was.” The noise was so loud you could only just about hear us singing, everyone was filming it and the video went everywhere. “That was where we decided for the first time ever that we’d sing the Southgate lyrics and the crowd just went nuts. At first we said no, then we got offered this gig at a party in Boxpark in Croydon where everyone was watching the match. “But with the Euros it’s started up again and people were telling us we should record it. “It first happened three years ago for the World Cup and it just snowballed, then obviously we went out at the semi-finals and we thought that was that.

“You can hear it so clearly when you’re watching the match on TV and everybody’s referencing it all the time, calling it the Southgate ballad, it’s been very strange,” she says.

Liz says they’re hoping the track can bring the team good luck and that England fans have something to sing about heading into Sunday’s final. OMD’s Andy McCluskey, who wrote Whole Again back in 2001, has also given his blessing to the new footy take on the original. Liz McClarnon and Natasha Hamilton have recorded their parts in the Wirral, and Jenny Frost joined them virtually from a studio in Ibiza where she now lives. Now, with the team about to face their biggest challenge against Denmark on Wednesday night, the band has got together in the studio to make it official. The song has become a massive crowd anthem, with the original lyrics replaced as a tribute to Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate. Atomic Kitten have rerecorded the fan favourite version of their hit Whole Again ahead of England’s big Euros semi-final match.
