Steps have released the music video for their brand new single, Hard 2 Forget - which has been recorded as part of celebrations for the pop group's 25th anniversary this year.
The chart-topping group - which formed in 1997 - consists of Claire Richards, 44, Faye Tozer, 46, Lee Latchford-Evans, 47, Lisa Scott-Lee, 46, and Ian "H" Watkins, 46.
Their latest single - taken from their upcoming greatest hits compilation, Platinum Collection - was released this morning, with the accompanying music video now out too.
It shows the group reminiscing about a past love whilst in a cafe, with dancers - including a drag performer - grooving along to the the new song during each of the choruses.
Each member of the group gets their own solo moment, with the five of them coming together towards the end to dance as disco lights flash across the backdrop of the cafe.
The lyrics document not being able to get over someone, with the quintet singing in the choruses that although the person was "easy to love," they are "so hard to forget."
Announcing the release of the music visual, Steps said in a post on Instagram : "We had so much fun filming this video. We hope you love dancing to it as much as we did."
Lisa - who lives with her family in Dubai but returns to the UK for Steps projects - said of the new single: "I am literally so excited for this release. One of my fave songs of ours'."
The video attracted praise from fans, with one responding: "I'm obsessed with this song and the video is gorgeous." Another said it's "feel good music" you can play on repeat.
"They're timeless, great sense of fashion and sounded so current," said another viewer. Whilst a fourth commented: "Steps never fail to deliver. Always bringing the happy vibes."
Another fan wrote: "Steps has definitely found their style and knows what works for them. Keep these sad club bangers coming!" A sixth said: "This is Steps at their best!"
"Sounds like a classic Steps song and yet so fresh and so current," another viewer said of the new release. Whilst another said: "I've never seen a more versatile pop group."
