That's right, Girls Aloud have revealed the identity of their 20th single and the follow-up to their number one smash 'The Promise'. Here's everything you need to know:

  • It's going to be.... wait for it.... 'The Loving Kind'.

  • It's a songwriting collaboration between Xenomania, the group's usual writing/production team, and the Pet Shop Boys.

  • It's a shimmering electropop track that shares a decent chunk of its DNA with the 'Call The Shots'.

  • It's probably the standout track from the the girls' Out of Control album.


  • It's also one of the most emotionally resonant songs of the group's career.


  • Oh, and one last thing - it's coming out on January 12.
