The XCERTS have released their latest single ‘in your eyes’.
The track is part of a series of new music from the trio following their recent single ‘do it to myself’. Murray Macleod describes ‘in your eyes’ as “the most raw and personal song we’ve ever written.”
He explains, “Fundamentally, it’s about loss. The loss of what I deemed to be forever love and the cruelty of cancer. The closing lines of the song are ‘this isn’t goodbye, this is I’ll love you forever’ which serves as a full stop but also has an open-ended feel to it. It’s a desperate grieving cry, but while writing the words, I also thought, well, if this is the last thing we ever create then that’s the message I want to ring out in Jordan, Tom and our fan base’ ears. I’m aware it’s overly sincere, but it’s true, and the truth is all we wanted to convey. The song finishes with Jordan’s mum blowing a kiss and saying “I love you” which is extremely emotional, but it was important for her to close out this song as it belongs to her.”
The release of ‘in your eyes’ also follows The XCERTS’ return to live performance at London’s The Lexington, where they also premiered ‘do it to myself’ live. The band will be performing at the 2000trees Festival in Cheltenham, marking their first festival appearance announcement for 2026.
