[Verse 1: Aston Merrygold]
A hundred thousand roses
Couldn't say how much I feel for you
And I don't care who knows it
I don't love no one like I love you
[Refrain: JLS]
And everybody wanna waste their time
Nobody wanna find their true love
But my future is with you, girl
'Cause you're my day one
My ride or die
From day one
You've been by my side
[Pre-Chorus: Aston Merrygold]
And I think it's time I told you that
[Chorus: JLS]
I always wanna make you proud of me
Never gonna question loyalty
When no one believed in me, yeah
I didn't have no one that I could turn and talk to
You were the only one who
Showed up, you stayed there from day one
[Verse 2: Oritsé Williams & Aston Merrygold]
It's like your love gets stronger
Stronger as the days, months, years go by
I wanna hold on longer
Long enough 'til we're dancing in the sky, oh
[Refrain: JLS]
And everybody wanna waste their time
Nobody wanna find their true love
But my future is with you, girl
'Cause you're my day one
My ride or die
From day one
You've been by my side
[Pre-Chorus: Aston Merrygold]
And I think it's time I told you that
[Chorus: JLS]
I always wanna make you proud of me
Never gonna question loyalty
When no one believed in me, yeah
I didn't have no one that I could turn and talk to
You were the only one who
Showed up, you stayed there from day one
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Pre-Chorus: Aston Merrygold]
And I think it's time I told you that
[Chorus: JLS]
I always wanna make you proud of me
Never gonna question loyalty
When no one believed in me, yeah
I didn't have no one that I could turn and talk to
You were the only one who
Showed up, you stayed there from day one ('Cause you're my day one)
I always wanna make you proud of me
Never gonna question loyalty (My ride or die)
When no one believed in me, yeah (My day one)
I didn't have no one that I could turn and talk to
You were the only one who (You've been by my side)
Showed up, you stayed there from day one

This is a song for ALL our day ones. For everyone who’s been there from the very beginning, who’s supported us since the X Factor and even before. It was about time we wrote a song specifically dedicated to our supporters and we hope the fans are gonna love it!

This was, I suppose, outside of the single, the first song that just dropped as JLS 2.0. And this is where, I suppose for us, the new era really kicks in. Just letting records, not let them go, but just letting them be out there in the atmosphere and just see what happens. This son...
