The Wanted on the Meaning of ‘Chasing The Sun’

British boy band The Wanted have opened up about the meaning behind their hit track 'Chasing The Sun'. The song has enjoyed a renaissance in recent days after they released a new video for the its appearance in film Ice Age 4.

Speaking to MTV News, Jay McGuiness said that the song can mean "many things," with a lot of people thinking it is about "partying all night". However, there is an underlying metaphor of "chasing your dreams".

He said: "I think this song, it can mean many things. To some people, it is partying all night and chasing the sun the next morning. That's what the first video is about - the girls, the teeth are there, the vampires."

He continued: "So we're all there partying away. And that's one aspect of the song. Another aspect of the song is chasing your dreams, the unattainable acorn in the distance."
