21-year-old singer-songwriter Will Parker returns with his powerful new single, and tribute to his hometown of Scunthorpe in ‘Nobody Can Know’. The track arrives as a follow-up to his debut ‘Mindless State’, continuing the emergence of one of the UK’s most exciting new voices.
Now, with ‘Nobody Can Know’, Parker delivers his most personal and timely statement yet. Accompanied by a moving music video, filmed inside Scunthorpe’s Steelworks, the historic lifeblood of the town’s industry and economy, the release arrives amid intense national attention on the future of British steel production and the livelihoods tied to it. A love letter to his hometown, the track captures the pride, resilience and identity of a working-class community shaped by generations of steelmaking, while reflecting Parker’s own experiences growing up in Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire.
Parker has quickly built momentum across radio, streaming, live and social platforms, with his debut making an immediate national impact and introducing an artist defined by raw honesty, emotional depth and a deep connection to his roots.
The single has since earned support from Spotify and Amazon Music, while Parker’s debut hometown headline show at The Beckwood in Scunthorpe sold out, following his first support tour with Seb Lowe.
Though this marks only his second release, Parker has been honing his craft for years, from local theatre groups to busking in pubs with friends, and later collaborating with musicians and producers who share his ambition. These experiences have culminated in debut songs that feel both personal, yet widely relatable.
If ‘Mindless State’ introduced Will Parker as an artist with undeniable potential, ‘Nobody Can Know’ confirms him as one of the most compelling new voices emerging in the UK right now.
