"You Got It All" is a song performed by English boy band Union J, and written by Nasri (Magic!). It was released on 28 November 2014 in Ireland,[1] and on 30 November 2014 in the UK,[2] as the second and final single from Union J's second studio album You Got It All – The Album (2014).

Background and composition

[edit]

"You Got It All" was written by Nasri, lead singer of Canadian band Magic!.[4] On 14 October 2014, Union J revealed the name of the track via Twitter.[5] It premiered the following morning on Capital FM.[6]

Talking to Capital FM, Josh Cuthbert said, "This single, it's a really important one for us. It's finally the sound that I think suits us. We've gone back to our roots. On The X Factor we sort of stood on stage and just sang, and this is what we've done with this song. And we love it," he added. "It's written by a Grammy Award winner [Nasri], so we're extremely lucky and we've been in safe hands with Nasri."[6]

JJ Hamblett explained, "It's basically we've gone back to our old roots, it's a different lane for Union J," while Cuthbert added: "We feel like there's no other bands out there that are doing what this sound is, I think this is what we're going to stick with." George Shelley explained: "We've helped a lot with this song and it does mean a lot to us, especially to me since I have a deep connection with the lyrics within it. I thought of this one girl while helping writing it".[6]
