Seafret Returns to Emotional Form with Love In Reverse

Seafret‘s latest single, Love In Reverse is an emotionally charged offering that showcases their signature approach to heartbreak narratives.

Performed by Jack Sedman and Harry Draper, co-written with Steve Robson and Wayne Hector, with production handled by Robson, the beautiful track explores the familiar territory of relationship aftermath with renewed focus.

The song builds around the concept of desperately wanting to salvage something that is irretrievably broken.

The lyrics paint vivid imagery of permanence destroyed: carved names in stone, broken bows, and torn sails. Whilst the central question “Would you love me in reverse?” creates a haunting refrain.

Seafret’s exploration of temporal longing feels genuine rather than manufactured, particularly in lines about going “back through the worst” to reach better times.

Musically, Love In Reverse maintains the cinematic quality that has defined the pair’s best work whilst benefiting from polished production values.

The arrangement allows space for both vulnerability and grandeur, creating an emotional arc that mirrors the lyrical content.

Their harmonies remain as compelling as ever, particularly when expressing the song’s central tension between acceptance and denial.

“We loved writing this song,” Seafret share. “It’s about a relationship that’s ended in ruins and admitting you’d go to hell and back if it meant you could bring even a tiny part of it back to life. A true Seafret style song!”

Arriving after their successful KT Tunstall collaboration, Five More Seconds, which gained BBC Radio 2 A-list status, this release continues their creative renaissance.

With upcoming support slots for James Morrison’s September tour, Seafret are capitalising on renewed momentum.

Love In Reverse confirms that a decade into their career, this Yorkshire duo still possesses the emotional honesty and melodic instincts that originally captivated audiences.
