Atomic Kitten have re-recorded and released their updated version of "Whole Again" featuring lyrics about England football manager Gareth Southgate ahead of tomorrow's Euro semi-final game against Denmark.

Last weekend Atomic Kitten took to the stage at Boxpark Croydon following England's Euro 2020 win against Ukraine to perform the Gareth Southgate remix of "Whole Again", which was first adapted by fans during the 2018 World Cup.

Today (6 July), ahead of tomorrow's semi-final game against Denmark, Atomic Kitten have given the reworked version of the song an official release.

Atomic Kitten's new version is titled "Southgate You're the One (Football's Coming Home Again)", and features the iconic chorus paying tribute to the England manager, "Looking back on when we first met / I cannot escape and I cannot forget / Southgate you’re the one / You still turn me on / Football’s coming home again."

The official recording sees Liz McClarnon and Natasha Hamilton reunite with fellow Atomic Kitten member Jenny Frost for the first time since 2008.

Speaking about the song, the trio say, "It’s been a whirlwind couple of days, but we are super excited and grateful to be able to contribute to the awesome energy and patriotism that is filling the England Streets with this version of Whole Again. Totally inspired by the England Football fans in support of Gareth Southgate and the super talented England Football team, we will be singing loud and proud "Football’s Coming Home!""

Atomic Kitten's "Southgate You're the One (Football's Coming Home Again)" track is out now. England will face Denmark tomorrow (7 July) at 8pm BST.
