Sam Fender has released a new version of 'Rein Me In' featuring Olivia Dean, following its live debut during his recent stadium shows.

The track, which originally appeared on Fender's third album 'People Watching', has been reworked to include a new verse written and performed by Dean. The collaboration marks Fender's first recorded duet since working with Noah Kahan last year on 'Homesick'.

"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," Fender explains. "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."

Dean adds: "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."
