Sam Fender is back with ‘Aye’, the second single from his forthcoming second album ‘Seventeen Going Under’. The song, written by Fender and produced by Bramwell Bronte, is about political division and its impact on the working class. ‘Aye’ is not a love song or an introspective song, it’s about the frustration of left-right politics, and the displacement that can happen when working-class communities don’t have a clear political identity.
The song also turns to extreme wealth and anger at billionaires who pay no taxes. It gives “Aye” a combative feel, as Fender rails against the greed of the world’s wealthiest. The song is about a personal venting of anger about inequalities and political tensions of the working class.
Fender’s songwriting is on display with the second single from “Seventeen Going Under”, “Aye”. The track’s bluntness on its point is clear in its emphasis on political identity, class and wealth. The song is about working-class displacement because of a political divide and anger at billionaires who don’t pay for their actions. “Aye” is a strong song about social frustration, inequality, and the quest for a political identity.
