Olly Murs: Save Me 'is a new Murs era'
The 41-year-old star is debuting his new single, 'Save Me', during his ongoing tour of the UK, and Olly has suggested that the song is reflective on a new chapter in his career.
The chart-topping singer - who first found fame on 'The X Factor' back in 2009 - told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: "I sing my new single on the tour. It's called 'Save Me'.
"It's a bold statement but the industry has changed so much with streaming, so with this song I wanted to go back to basics. I wanted my fans to hear the song before anyone else."
Despite this, Olly - who married Amelia Tank in 2023 - actually feels anxious about performing the new song for his fans.
The pop star explained: "It's been nerve-racking because no one has heard but I'm so confident with the song - I wanted to do it.
"It's about going on a night out after having a row with the missus and it goes horribly wrong."
Olly feels excited about the "new Murs era".
The 'Heart Skips a Beat' hitmaker said: "The song is a new Murs era. But I'm secretly excited about it."
Olly is also determined to deliver value for money for his fans.
The singer has developed a loyal fanbase over the years and he's promising to give them "fun, music and a laugh" during the tour.
Olly - who is performing at some of the UK's best known venues during the tour, including The O2 in London - shared: "I'm an entertainer and I want you to have a good time.
"I'd like to think my fans know that when they buy a ticket to come see me, they know what they're getting - fun, music and a laugh.
"There is a trust I will deliver and I think with some artists, you're not sure if they are going to turn up and deliver.
"I think what I've done over the last 15 years is show people that I can entertain.
"I love doing what I do, and you guys are here with me to enjoy it."

Or just life, which always tests our strength at the most unexpected moment.' The accident sparked outrage on social media, with many taking aim at her intelligence. 'I'm sorry, of course, but what do people have in their heads who repeat this trash? Which is immediately visible that it is dangerous to health! I wish you a speedy recovery!' one Instagram user commented. 'Well, you're all like teenagers climbing street signs, kindergarten,' another wrote. 'And she looked like an adult,' another user wrote. Other fans wished her a quick and easy recovery. 'Wishing you a speedy recovery,' one user wrote. Ms Barutkina took aim at social media users who questioned her fitness as a mother in a recent post addressing the attention her video gathered. 'Whoever worries about my child should also be calm, he has two nannies and while I was filming one of them was with him,' she wrote. Some fans are calling for the trend to end, saying no one can beat Ms Barutkina.
