S Club have returned with their first new single in 20 years titled ‘These Are The Days’.The pop group – who will be embarking on a reunion tour later this year without sixth member Hannah Spearritt – have described the new track as a tribute to late bandmate Paul Cattermole, who died suddenly in April this year due to heart-related issues.The sentimental new track was written by the band’s songwriting team Cathy Dennis, Simon Ellis, Johanne Ellis and producer John Nathaniel, and arrives with a nostalgic video highlighting moments from throughout the band’s career.“We hope you love the track as much as we do, and get to reminisce with us on all your favourite moments with friends and loved ones,” S Club, formerly S Club 7, shared on Instagram. “This was a true labour of love and the experience of creating it together was so special.

This one’s for you, Paul.”“And if someday we find / We ever have to say goodbye (Ever have to say) / We’ll be running back these memories / To relive time after time,” they sing on the sunny track. “Because these are the days of our lives / That we’ll always remember.”Listen to ‘These Are The Days’ and watch the accompanying video below.Back in May, S Club 7 confirmed they would still be going ahead with their reunion tour this year following the death of Cattermole, but without Spearritt.After his death, Spearritt paid tribute to her late bandmate and “first love” Cattermole.“You’ve probably noticed that there’s only five of us here today, and although Hannah will always be part of S Club 7 she won’t be joining us on this tour,” Jon Lee said in an Instagram video, in which the members were visibly emotional. “We wish her all the best for the future.
