Regarding the choice of topic for the track, Fred said: “The issue of knife crime really struck a nerve with us. We need more youth centres, better role models for young people, and more police on the streets. Our hearts go out to the victims and families of those affected.”

The duo hope that they can raise an awareness and urge anyone affected by crime to contact the relevant services for support, such as: Victim Support, Childline, and Fearless.

The band have previously supported various charities throughout their time in the industry, such as Crisis, Alzheimer Society, Stroke Association, St. Mungo’s, Asthma UK, Liver4Life, and The Royal Marsden Cancer Society.
