Olly Murs is back with another fun ska-infused tune in Run This Town
Olly Murs has shared the ska-infused tune Run This Town.
Olly Murs has released the Madness-influenced new song Run This Town.
The 41-year-old pop star has shared the latest offering from his upcoming album Knees Up, which he actually recorded during the sessions for his self-titled 2010 debut album.
He said of the track: “This song’s been with me since my first album back in 2010. I’ve always loved it, but it never quite found the right moment… until now.
"It’s got that Madness-style energy that I’ve always wanted to tap into. When I started working on the ‘Knees Up’ album late last year with the style of songs I was writing it finally felt like the right time to bring it to life and add it to the mix. I’ve wanted to release this one for years and now it’s time!”
Run This Town is the third single taken from the LP, following Bonkers and Save Me.
The X Factor alum has also announced an intimate show at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town on December 8.
Fans who pre-order Knees Up today (24.10.25) from the official store will gain exclusive access to a ticket pre-sale for the London show.
The follow-up 2022's Marry Me, which arrives on November 21, is described by the star as "daring, fun, [and] a bit bonkers".
He said in a statement: "This is the first album in years I’ve made authentically for me – it’s daring, fun, a bit bonkers – and the most buzzing I’ve felt about music in a long time.
“My fans have been there through everything over the last 15 years, and I can’t wait for them to hear something fresh and fun from me. Time for a cheeky little Knees Up!!”
The album will be available in multiple formats, including transparent green vinyl, standard CD, and a Deluxe CD featuring four live bonus tracks: Troublemaker, Heart Skips A Beat, Save Me, and Dance With Me Tonight. Fans who pre-ordered at his summer shows will also receive an exclusive Lanyard CD.
The new record follows Olly's sold-out UK tour marking 15 years of success.
Olly was also recently confirmed as a performer for Hits Radio Live Manchester, which takes place on the same day Olly releases his new record, suggesting he could play new material when hits the stage at Co-op Live.
