You are who you are and that’s why people love you.”As for the single’s Becky Garner-directed visuals, Camamile explained: “We shot it in just one take whilst travelling between shows on our latest European tour. Our tour bus was heading over the mountains between Germany and Switzerland, and it just all made sense – we had to film there.“I think we managed to stumble upon one of the most beautiful locations on earth!”Sea Girls are set to appear at various UK festivals this summer, including Live At Leeds: In The Park, Isle Of Wight Festival, Y Not and Kendal Calling.In November, the group will embark on a UK headline tour which includes a huge show at London’s Alexandra Palace.
