"It's one of mine and it's unreleased. But it's a song that you can get on board with because I think you might know a little bit of it already."

In the lyrics, the 46-year-old pop star sings about a woman on a drunken night out.

He also name-checks the 1982 Dexys Midnight Runners classic in the first verse and then features the same chorus.
