Music video
"Money" on YouTube

"Money" is the ninth single by British pop rock band Lawson. The single was released as the third single (first excl. Lawson EP) from their upcoming second album Perspective, set to release on 8 July 2016. The music video for "Money" was released on 4 February 2016.[1] The single was released on 18 March 2016, via Polydor Records. "The song "Money" was written in a time when the band had none." - It was revealed that Lawson wrote the song years before whilst touring in a van, struggling to find gigs. The song is said to be revamped for 2016.

## Music video[edit]

The music video for "Money" was directed by Carly Cussen. The video shows the foursome rocking it out in a pillared room and then having fun and performing in a party with guests.

## Sound[edit]

"Money" differs in sound to the rest of the material previously unveiled (as Lawson EP) from their upcoming album. The new single features a hint of reggae in addition to their pop rock sound, similar to "Juliet".

## Development[edit]

Lead singer Andy Brown said about the single:

> We first had the idea of Money when we were unsigned and touring around in an old van, absolutely skint. We used to sing 'Where’s the money?!' after driving 100s of miles to play to 10 people!

> After the success of the first album, we developed it further and it just turned into this big, pop anthem. It's going to be a big favourite in the live set- we shot the video last week and invited a bunch of our friends and fans down to be in it and they were all singing along after the first listen.[2]

## Critical reception[edit]

Lewis Corner of Digital Spy said this about their new single:

> British pop-rockers Lawson are back with a big new track ahead of the release of their second studio album.

> The four-piece will officially release 'Money' as their new single on March 18, but it's available to stream on Spotify and Apple Music now.

> And they're crooning about something we can all relate to - being skint.
