The new musical WHY AM I SO SINGLE? will release its Original London Cast Recording in early 2025, with the first single, Disco Ball, releasing early on Monday 16th December. Written by Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss, the multi-award-winning duo behind the global phenomenon SIX, this show is a must-see for anyone who’s ever navigated the complexities of modern relationships.
In Disco Ball, Oliver delivers a moment of pure theatrical magic. The song explores the emotional toll of trying to maintain a façade through humour and avoiding emotional vulnerability at all costs - like a disco ball spinning endlessly, increasingly out of control. In this breathtaking number, Oliver finally lets their mask drop, allowing Best Friend Nancy to support them through moments of frustration as well as joy, in a powerful dynamic that forms the heart of the show.
The glitter, the drama, the feels—Disco Ball spins your way on 16th December ?✨
