"Wings" Written by Jasmine van den Bogaerde and Ryan Tedder Produced by Ryan Tedder and Rich Costey "Wings" was released as the lead single from Birdy's second album Fire Within back in 2013, reaching atop in Ireland, the Top 10 in Austria, Switzerland and France and the Top 40 in Germany, the UK, New Zealand and Australia, as well as other European countries. Two years later, an advert from Lloyds Bank commemorating their 250-year anniversary featured an acoustic version of the track, prompting it to be out as a standalone release and re-entering the Top 40 in the Official Charts this week. β’ Watch the 250 year anniversary TV advert from Lloyds Bank here. β’ Watch the acoustic version of "Wings" filmed at Abbey Road Studios here.

From the Official Charts: This is the Wednesday update in the UK and "Wings" is expected to climb to #8 there. Also, as a side note, the track has been added to the C-list of BBC Radio 1 playlist, being the second time it's playlisted by them.

Climbs (or rebounds?) to #8 in the UK, becoming Birdy's first Top 10 and third Top 40 there.
#8. "Wings" #17. "Skinny Love" #33. "People Help the People"

How random.
I really like this song though. Birdy's album should have gotten noticed more than it did. It was a bit generic but I think she could have been this generation's Michelle Branch.

still like the song a lot, feels weird just rebound so suddenly, but then again stuff like "Skinny Love" were still being pushed in certain places just last year so idk
(also didn't know that this was a tedder co-write, learn something new everyday)

Meh, old songs rebound in the UK all the time after being used in TV ads or TV talent shows. Like "Skyscaper" going top 10 in 2013.
