Nick Ward releases new single 'Gimme'.

Nick Ward today shared his latest single, 'Gimme' - a preview of Ward's forthcoming debut album out later this year.

About his new song, Ward says: "When I was 17, I spent most of my time and focus trying to make sense of who I was. I hadn't come out to anyone except for my best friend. It's a time in my life that I keep coming back to when writing music, just because of how potent those emotions are. I hadn't come to terms with fluidity in sexuality; I needed a concrete label or tag to feel like I'd found what I was searching for. 'Gimme' was written the day after my first tour ended, and I think I was unconsciously still riding the high of those shows. Sydney (my hometown) was our last stop, and the crowd started a mosh-pit in like every song. Those shows gave me a lot of perspective on what music is really about. There were kids in each city with tattoos of the artworks who knew all the lyrics – kids who looked just like me, and clearly felt a lot of the same things I had in high school. I wanted to make something for everyone who's been in that spot."
