Sam Fender and Olivia Dean join forces on the single, "Rein Me In"

The track, which originally featured on Sam Fender's third album, People Watching, earlier this year, receives a re-working with a new verse and vocals written and sung by Olivia Dean. It’s the first recorded collaboration for Sam since teaming up with Noah Kahan last year for Homesick.

Sam Fender and Olivia Dean performed the track at the London Stadium earlier this month, and twice more at Newcastle’s St. James’ Park last weekend.

“If I collaborate with another artist on one of my songs, I prefer they write a new part and make it their own, rather than singing whatever I’ve already written,” Sam Fender says. “Olivia added a female perspective to Rein Me In, and I think it’s all the better for it. Sharing the stage with her over these last few stadium shows has been a joy. I can’t wait for people to have it.”

“Rein Me In is my favourite song on Sam’s album, so it was a pleasure to write a new verse from a female perspective. I’ve been a fan of Sam’s for a while now, so I’m so pleased we got to work together on this duet,” Olivia Dean adds.
