JLS have confirmed that they have recorded this year's official single for Sport Relief.
The boyband will release new cut 'Proud' on March 18, with proceeds from the single to be donated to the charity which aims to help vulnerable people in both the UK and Third World countries.
'Proud' was co-written by the band along with Ali Tennant and producer Cutfather. JLS will perform the track during the Sport Relief telethon on March 23.
They will also perform the song along with a number of their other hits at a special one-off matinee concert for Sport Relief at London's O2 Arena on March 24.
JLS will then participate in the Sport Relief Mile charity run on March 25, with Inbetweeners star Simon Bird also involved.
Speaking about their involvement, JLS stated: "We are so excited to be a part of Sport Relief this year.
"To have the official single is an absolute honour for us and we really hope that the song raises an amazing sum of money for such a fantastic cause!"
The pop four-piece will embark on their second UK arena tour in support of their latest album Jukebox later this year.
Their '4th Dimension' tour will begin at Liverpool's Echo Arena on March 14 and conclude at Sheffield's Motorpoint Arena on April 28.
JLS were named one of the hardest-working music acts of 2011 alongside Olly Murs.
