Newcastle’s Charlie Floyd is ready to make his mark in 2025 with the release of his debut single, ‘Do It Again’, dropping today. A euphoric, guitar-driven anthem built for long summer nights and windows-down road trips, the track is a bold statement of intent from an artist who is set to take the UK music scene by storm.
Blending sharp songwriting with raw energy and an undeniable groove, ‘Do It Again’ marks a pivotal moment in Floyd’s journey – from years of honing his craft as a songwriter and performer to stepping into the spotlight as a solo artist with an unshakable vision.
At its heart, ‘Do It Again’ is about the irresistible pull of nostalgia – the chase for moments that feel too good to let go. Written, arranged, and produced by Floyd in his home studio, the track brims with shimmering guitar riffs, soaring melodies, and an anthemic hook designed to be chanted by crowds and blasted through speakers on summer days.
“The song’s essence comes from chasing the dragon of nostalgia,” Floyd explains. “I’ve tried to capture that feeling in so many songs before, and this was the first time I landed it exactly how I wanted. The combination of melody, lyrics, and production all fell into place. It’s a song that means a lot to me because it was the first I wrote under ‘Charlie Floyd’ after signing with my management. It felt like a fresh start and a real moment of personal achievement.”
The track’s infectious energy and polished production are a testament to Floyd’s meticulous creative process. Writing and recording from his home studio, he constructs his songs layer by layer, meticulously shaping their sonic landscapes.
“I love the Frankenstein process of songwriting – piecing together parts until everything clicks,” he says. “For ‘Do It Again’, I started with a guitar riff, then built the track organically. When I had the full picture, I knew it was special.”
To bring the track to its fullest potential, Floyd teamed up with acclaimed producer Charlie Russell (Kasabian, Liam Gallagher, Jake Bugg) at Dean Street Studios in Soho, London. The collaboration brought a new depth to the song while keeping its raw essence intact.
“Charlie Russell and I clicked straight away,” Floyd recalls. “As fellow Geordies in the capital, he understood my sound and vision immediately. Some of the drums and vocals you hear on the final version were actually recorded in my house the night I wrote it. Charlie recognised the authenticity in those early takes and made sure we kept them—it was all about preserving that moment.”
With ‘Do It Again’ setting the tone, 2025 is shaping up to be a breakthrough year for Floyd, who has an exciting run of live performances lined up to introduce audiences to his unique blend of pop-infused guitar music.
Charlie Floyd’s debut single ‘Do It Again’ is available to stream now on all major streaming platforms.
