The band released a statement on their website on Wednesday morning:

"The Wanted are pleased to announce the release of their new video and single Glow in the Dark taken from their November release Word of Mouth. They are very excited to perform Glow in the Dark along with their smash singles I Found You, Chasing the Sun and Glad You Came, amongst others for their fans on their upcoming World of Mouth tour."

They thank their fans for their continued love and support and look forward to seeing them on tour."
