#Steps #WhatTheFutureHolds #SomethingInYourEyes Steps - Something in Your Eyes (Official Audio) Who's up and listening to @zoetheball on @bbcradio2? The official world premiere of our new single #SomethingInYourEyes is coming up VERY soon!! Steps have released the “uplifting, ABBA-esque” anthem Something In Your Eyes as the second single from their new album The group made a sensational comeback earlier this month with the Sia-penned title track from their forthcoming release, What The Future Holds and, after slowing things down for promo single Under My Skin, it’s back to business with their latest hit. In a press release, Claire Richards gushes of the tune: “It’s so much fun… It’s a real nod to old Steps, but it works so well alongside the lead single. “You can’t help but sing along to it and feel uplifted by it.” Something In Your Eyes was originally performed by Swedish singer Jenny Silver at Melodifestivalen 2011 in a bid to represent her country at the Eurovision Song Contest that year. However, it was knocked out at the first semi-final, with Eric Saade going on to represent the country and finishing in second place with his hit Popular.

"Something in Your Eyes" is a song written by Thomas G:son, Henrik Sethsson and Erik Bernholm. Performed by Jenny Silver in the first semifinal of Melodifestivalen 2011 in Luleå, the song made it to Andra Chansen, where it was knocked out of the contest. The song also stayed at the top 10 chart Svensktoppen for three weeks before leaving the chart. http://instagram.com/p/CG1zLDoBRLS In 2020, British pop group Steps recorded a cover of the song for their album, What the Future Holds. Jenny Silver took part on several Melodifestivalen shows in a bid to represent Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest. On February 6, 2010, Jenny Silver participated in the first semifinal of Melodifestivalen 2010 at the Fjällräven Center in Örnsköldsvik with her entry "A Place to Stay". However her entry only managed eight and last place in the semifinal. However, her entry charted on the Sverigetopplistan Singles chart reaching number 12 based on downloads following her performance. http://instagram.com/p/CGzotwJnyDS On February 5, 2011, she took part again in Melodifestivalen 2011[5] in Luleå with her entry "Something in Your Eyes", making it to the "second chance" round, but lost to Love Generation's entry "Dance Alone" failing to reach the final. Jenny returned at Melodifestivalen in its 2013 edition as part of the group Swedish House Wives alongside Pernilla Wahlgren and Hanna Hedlund in a hope of representing Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest 2013. The song ended up 6th in the second semi-final and didn't go to the next round.

In October Steps member Ian “H from Steps” Watkins said Eurovision is “just not the right place for us” and wrote it off as a “political contest”. But apparently that’s not enough to put them off of Jenny Silver’s “Something In Your Eyes” — the 2011 song that competed in Sweden’s Eurovision selection show. Eurovision fans will remember that “Something In Your Eyes” was written by Eurovision legend Thomas G:son. Jenny took it to the Second Chance round at Melodifestivalen 2011, only to be knocked out by Love Generation’s “Dance Alone”. Besides sidestepping the fact this song is from the world of Eurovision, the group have also teased their music video, which will premiere on October 28 at 10am in the UK. It shows the fivesome wearing a series of pastels across blue and purple and yellow. It’s like a cotton candy factory exploded in one of their spare rooms. Steps say Eurovision is a “political forum” Naturally many Eurovision fans are still feeling burned from H from Steps’ recent comments about Eurovision. When asked if Steps would ever do Eurovision, he was somewhat complimentary about the song contest. H said, “There’s mixed emotions about it […] I am a massive Eurovision fan. I love the whole cheesy experience.” But H then went on to make a claim that is often heard in the UK: that Eurovision is too political. The singer said, “But it’s not a song contest. It’s a political contest to get back at each other and it’s just not the right place for us. Sadly. I would absolutely love to – but for those reasons, no.” Speaking about their cover with Official Charts, H has subsequently suggested that he’d be keen to go to Eurovision. “It’s a yes from me,” he said. But then Lisa butted in: “And it’s a no from us!” He then once again re-iterated that tired old argument that Eurovision is all about politics. He said: “It’s not a song contest now, it’s a political forum.”

Official music video for 'Something In Your Eyes' by Steps. Taken from the new album 'What The Future Holds' out on 27th November. Fresh from it’s premiere first play on Zoe Ball’s BBC Radio 2 Breakfast show yesterday, Steps today (October 28th) unveil the music video for their latest single, Something In Your Eyes. Directed by Carly Cussen (Little Mix, Ed Sheeran, Olly Murs), the slick, super colourful clip sees the band perform intricate, staccato style choreography in a variety of different set ups, whilst sporting some pretty bold fashion-forward metallic, white and pastel ensembles. “The video for ‘Something In Your Eyes’ is probably the most campy fun colourful video yet since our 2017 comeback – it’s classic Steps in every way.” Steps say of the video. “It probably has the most fun dance routine we’ve done in years, we definitely think this one will be fun for everyone to learn at home. It’s the pastel daydream reverse world of the dark moody ‘What The Future Holds’ video.” http://instagram.com/p/CG4nnHahMNt
