“I know I'm finally the artist I want to be. And I feel like this shines through in the
music. With What Ifs & Maybes, I'm in a happy space, I know what I want. I’m opening
the door and saying: this is where it's at now, and this is where I’m going.”
So says Tom Grennan: an artist living his best creative life. A musician who knows he’s just
finished writing and recording the biggest, boldest, best set of songs of his shooting-star
career. A songwriter with a purpose, to embrace, encourage and lift listeners with lyrical
positivity and brightness – not to mention choruses to sing to the rafters.
This is the story of the 27-year-old on his high-flying, mood-boosting third album: What Ifs &
Maybes. A set of songs energised by the fact that, at work, at play, at home (and even,
sometimes, in the gym), he’s blissfully happy. And, as telegraph by that title, he’s a singer,
songwriter and performer galvanised by the potential (at once intimate and communal and
international) baked into these songs. From a place of solidity, security and connectivity,
anything – thrillingly – can happen.
“It definitely feels that way,” he agrees. “When you know exactly where you are in life, when
you finally have that comfort and the stability of saying: actually, I'm going to do what I want
to do now. I don't have to hide away from anything. And as soon as I really knuckled down
into that, into that emotion in myself, that was where my best music came from.”
That feeling is front and centre in the statement-of-intent with which Grennan opens both
2023 and his 14 track new album. Amped-up piano singalong ‘Here’ glows with electronic-
meets-gospel textures. Currently performing a sold-out arena tour, Grennan’s biggest
headline shows to date, the singer and songwriter’s new single is already a live stand-out.
“That was an unfinished song that was sent to me by Jordan Riley,” he says of a co-writer on
his first album, 2018’s Lighting Matches. “And I was like: wow, this song feels to me like it’s
global. So I was like, 100% – went into his studio the next day in North London, got into the
nitty gritty of it all, and I wrote some parts for it to finish it and make it really feel like my own.
“It definitely has that gospel element to it, but also that pop essence. I use the word ‘global’
but it does feel like that – I feel like it can translate into all different places and countries.”

At the start of 2022, Tom Grennan was fresh from Christmas and a holiday – and, as he puts
it, “already in a new creative space, ready to focus in and write the rest of the album songs.”
Cue a trip to the Suffolk studio of Ed Sheeran in the company of trusted collaborators Mike
Needle (co-writer on Grennan’s 2021 smash ‘Little Bit of Love’) and Jamie Scott (Justin
Bieber, Rudimental). “That was a good space for me to leave town, get out of London, and
go away into the countryside and just write. That's where I wrote three of the album’s biggest
new songs: ‘Remind Me’,‘Crown Your Love’ and ‘All These Nights’.

Not, to be clear, that the blockbuster breakout British artist – four Top 10 singles, (two of
them platinum-selling), a Number One album (Evering Road), three BRIT Award
nominations (including Alternative/Rock Act), an Ivor Novello nomination, over 100,000 gig
tickets sold, over one billion streams – had been slouching before then. True to his grafting
passion, Grennan has been digging deep, not least to honour the expectations of the fans
who’d been with him from day one.
“I've written maybe 80, 90 songs. Not all of them are great, don't get me wrong!” Grennan
clarifies with a laugh. “But there were 20 or 25 songs that could all be on the album.”
Working with further songwriting/producing collaborators including LostBoy (Griff, Anne-
Marie, Dua Lipa), Tom Mann (Lewis Capaldi, Rita Ora) and Wayne Hector (Nicki Minaj),
Grennan has crafted a set of rigorously melodic, often beat-driven, (mostly) upbeat songs
that speak to both his DGAF realness and his grounded sense of self.
That mix of emotional articulacy, filter-free candour and relatable charm – not to mention his
belting vocal delivery – has also seen Grennan in big demand from artists outside his own
lane. In 2022 alone he’s written with Sigala, on ‘Living Without You’, a track he was originally
due to also vocal, before his jammed schedule got in the way (Sam Ryder more than ably
did the honours instead). He’s collaborated, too, with Joel Corry on ‘Lionheart (Fearless)’, his
soulful rasp powering a club anthem that exploded onto dancefloors. And he entered the ring
with KSI, teaming up for ‘Not Over Yet’, the YouTuber-turned-boxer-turned-musician’s hype
song for his bout at The O2 with rapper Swarmz and Luis Alcaraz Pineda.
True to straight-talking form, he explains that “I didn’t work with KSI because of the fee or the
followers. To be honest, I didn't gain any followers off KSI! It was a case of: I want to learn
about the world that he's in. Same with Joel and Sigala. They obviously know how to make a
crowd dance, and how to make a big record. So I just wanted to learn. Those hook-ups were
a challenge to me more than anything. But anything can work if you put your mind to it.”
And, of course, they’re building on foundations Grennan has already laid. In 2021 he had a
hit collab with Calvin Harris on the Scottish producer’s global smash ‘By Your Side’. And in
South Korea Tom has become a superstar, with the BRIT-nominated ‘Little Bit of Love’ (his
first UK Top 10) streamed 30 million times and covered by a clutch of K-Pop talents. And all
this without his having set foot in the country.
That international profile is set to explode in 2023. He laid the groundworks in 2022 with a
sold out American club tour, a feelgood, back-to-his-basics run that was only marred by a
brutal mugging after his show at New York’s Bowery Ballroom. Then it was on to the first of
two Australian trips (where Tom is recognised as a Platinum-selling artist) then back for a
triumphant homecoming show at Bedford Park, a sold out performance to 15,000 fans. It
was the perfect moment to unveil some of his new songs. And that moment, and these
songs, all feed into the album title.
“I’ve called the album What Ifs & Maybes because you never know what's going to happen.
So go with your gut. Go with your heart, not your head. Sometimes the unknown brings love
and beauty and colour. Don't be afraid to jump into the unknown. Because it's exciting.”
That “what if?” possibility is hardwired into his new, arena-sized live show, too. As tickets
went on sale, Tom was praised for his efforts to keep ticket prices low and inclusive, leading

by example and scrapping all VIP and platinum packages across the shows. “The pinch is
real, for everyone, and I take it very seriously.”
“Live is where I'm most happy, but I want these songs to travel beyond your first listen, or
first seeing them played live by me and my band. I want my gigs to be something that people
leave and go: I can now see the record and not just hear it.”
This, finally, is the sound of an artist at the top of not just a rollercoaster, but also his game.
“Some musicians are afraid of being happy. Some musicians need to be sad to be putting
out music. I'm not there now. I'm like: let's have it! Let's just have fun. Let's enjoy life. I feel
like I'm a completely different person, physically mentally, musically. It's the resurrection of
me, mate, ha ha!” he concludes with another life-affirming laugh.
“This album is my story,” he concludes. “About my relationship with love, friendship, family.
But the songs are relatable, and I want them to travel. I want people to be listening with their
friends, with their partners, having their hands in the air going, fucking yes – we're here
together! Nothing should break that up. And let's live in this moment for as long as
