“Something in my Eye” is my new single and is all about mental health and the
overwhelming feelings we sometimes experience. I’m really happy to be donating a share
of the proceeds from the record to Mikeysline to support as many people as possible.

The video for the new song features two wonderful actors, Sam Heughan and Richard
Rankin, who I am now honoured to call my friends. Their participation is a true testament
to the power of human connection.

I feel very fortunate to have a career that allows me to use the power of music to enhance
our human connections. My sincere hope is that this song will help even a tiny number of
people to open up and talk.

I’ve always strived to be open about my mental health and my vulnerabilities, even when
it’s incredibly difficult to talk about these things. I believe that being able to express how we
feel is challenging but immensely important. I always try to wear my heart on my sleeve
and help as many people as I possibly can.

Men are expected to be strong all the time, which means we bottle up our feelings. This
creates a paradox for me because my emotions are a huge source of my songwriting
creativity, yet these same feelings can be so overwhelming that I struggle to cope with the
pressures of everyday life. I know I’m not alone in feeling this way.

What keeps me going is my ability to talk to those around me about those feelings. When I
was asked to be an ambassador for the mental health charity Mikeysline, I was absolutely
delighted to accept. It means I can use my songs to help make a difference to people who
have similar experiences and raise awareness that “it’s okay not to be okay.”

When we realise that it’s good to be open and talk about our emotions, we can be brave
and turn our vulnerability into a superpower. I want to help as many people as I can to
achieve this.

Feeling bad or vulnerable is not a weakness. I know that these feelings are not permanent
and can change. This experience can make you stronger.
Love, compassion, and openness are the keys to my journey, and my hope is that I can help others on their journey too.

With heart,
Callum Beattie
