"Glad You Came"
Song

"Glad You Came" is a song by British-Irish boy band The Wanted, taken as the second single from their second studio album, Battleground. It was released on July 10, 2011. The dance-pop song was written by Steve Mac, Wayne Hector and Ed Drewett, and was produced by Steve Mac. It debuted at number one in the United Kingdom and Ireland. In the United States, it was released on October 18, 2011 as the second single from the band's debut stateside release, The Wanted (EP). It has so far peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 there.

Background

The song was written and produced by Mac.[1] It will serve as the second single from The Wanted's second album, Battleground which was released on 7 November 2011.[2] Band member Tom Parker said of the song, "We all felt it was a new, refreshing sound and a perfect song for the summer which really gets you in the mood for a party."[3] The song premiered on the radio on 24 May 2011.[4] The song was also remixed by Alex Gaudino.[5] The American television series Glee covered the track in the episode "On My Way", which was aired during the third season.[6] It was performed at the Regionals competition between New Directions and the Dalton Academy Warblers.[6] Sebastian (Grant Gustin) leads the performance.[6]

Chart performance

"Glad You Came" debuted at number one in Ireland, making it the band's first number-one single in the country.[7] The song has been at number one for five weeks. In the United Kingdom, the song debuted at number one with first-week sales of over 117,000 copies, becoming the band's second number-one single in the UK.[8] In Australia the song was certified Gold for shipping 35,000 copies.[9] In the United States, the song became their first to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, so far peaking at number three after it was covered on the television series Glee, and becoming the highest American chart entry by a British boy band, surpassing Take That who peaked at number seven with "Back for Good" in November 1995.[10]

Music video

The music video was created by Director X and was filmed in Ibiza, Spain. It sees the band on the beach, in a club and at a houseparty each with an individual woman. It was uploaded to YouTube on 10 June 2011.[11] Jay revealed to MTV UK: "The theory of the video was take The Wanted to Ibiza and just film everything and then just cut bits that were useable. But the girls were models, they weren't just girls we picked." However Max admitted: "Actually no, the girl I had to spend time with was just literally picked up off the street after a night out."[12] The video has achieved over 25 million views on YouTube becoming their most watched video on the site. It also starred a cameo from footballer John-Joe O'Toole.
