Fresh Start Fever is a song by English rock band You Me At Six, released on 3 December 2013 as the second single from their fourth album, Cavalier Youth (2014).
In an interview with Kerrang! , vocalist Josh Franceschi explained, "When we started writing in the cottage we rented in Henley, Oxfordshire, we discussed how the album didn't yet have a song that represented what our band had been about until that point. We wanted to write a big pop-rock song, with exaggerated verses and a jump-up-and-down chorus." He further said, "Neal Avron brought all of his expertise of programmed drums and strings and horns, which gave the song a more layered texture. There is a group chant thing in the verse as well that was inspired more by hip-hop artists that we were listening to at the time."[1]
"Fresh Start Fever" received the Kerrang! Award for Best Single.[2]
