After lighting up the world with her debut single, ‘If We Ever Broke Up’ – the biggest debut single globally so far this year – breakout star Mae Stephens returns with an equally infectious, sun kissed anthem entitled, ‘Mr Right’. ‘My Right’ serves up a slice of effortlessly cool, glittery disco – pop made for dancing summer nights away. On it, the 19-year-old rising star from Kettering swipes unsatisfactory men out of her life with what is quickly becoming her trademark sass as she continues her quest to find the right one for her.
The new single finds her joining forces with one of her childhood idols, Meghan Trainor, with the global superstar lending her inimitable vocals to the new track, “I am beyond honoured that Mae asked me to be a part of this song!!”
Meghan said. “I have been a big fan of hers from afar on social media and was...
