Alan Mair announces haunting new single Ghost Of You In Me

The wait is over: Alan Mair, legendary force from The Only Ones, returns on 25 August 2025 with Ghost Of You In Me, a soaring, alternative rock anthem that feels both intimate and cinematic. It’s a fiercely personal statement from an artist who still knows how to stop you in your tracks.

Mair wrote, sang, and produced the track, performing every instrument himself—saving the blistering lead guitar for the exceptional Zal Cleminson. The song wrestles with the ache of love that lingers after separation or loss. “When you are deeply in love with someone and they move away—or even pass away—some believe their spirit comes back to visit,” Alan shares, capturing the spectral pull at the heart of the single.

It’s the sound of a lifer at work. After thousands of shows and festival stages—from Glastonbury to Wireless—Mair’s command of performance and production is unmistakable. His legacy with The Only Ones has echoed through generations, shaping touchstones for The Replacements, Nirvana, The Libertines, and Blur.
