The song, featuring both Esther & Tim O'Connor on lead vocals, centers around an old flame from high school, thinking back to "the one that got away". In their own words: "I think it's something that many people can relate to; a high school sweetheart that you think back to after the years have gone by". It's a song reminiscing about that carefree time of being seventeen and young love.
'Seventeen' features a lamenting fiddle part by Scottish fiddle player Seonaid Aitken which also helps to tell the story of the song.
"From the moment that we wrote the song it's been a firm favourite of mine, and one that we wanted to release as a single. It's usually the song we open up our live shows with and the opening track from the album Nashville Heart" - Esther O'Connor.
The single is officially released and widely available for download from May 2nd 2016, and available for pre-order from iTunes now (April 20th).
