James Arthur has confirmed the identity of his next single.

The X Factor 2012 winner will unleash the track 'Recovery' as the next tune from his self-titled debut album.

The tune will be unleashed on December 15 through Syco Records.

It follows up Arthur's previous single 'You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You', which was the singer's first release from his record. The artwork for 'Recovery' meanwhile has also been unveiled.

The new single was co-written by Ina Wroldsen, who wrote Shontelle's 'Impossible' - Arthur's massive X Factor winner's song.

The singer meanwhile is due to open his upcoming European tour with a date in Ipswich on January 5. The jaunt is due to run until March 4, when Arthur will conclude with a show in Warsaw.

As previously reported, Arthur recently admitted that he is no longer friends with One Direction's Louis Tomlinson after the 'Kiss You' lad allegedly insulted the singer via text messages.

The fall-out occurred after Arthur spoke about One Direction's marketing power on Twitter.
