Joe Woolford and Jake Shakeshaft, who will be representing the UK at the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest with 'You're Not Alone', met during the 2015 series of The Voice UK.
It's such an honour to be representing the UK in the biggest musical contest ever. It’s like a dream come trueJoe and Jake
Jake was part of team will.i.am and reached the knockout stage, whereas Joe was a finalist for Rita Ora’s team. Jake aged 20 is from Stoke-on-Trent, whilst Joe aged 21 is from Ruthin, Wales. Since the show the two became firm friends and decided to pair up in order to enter Eurovision: You Decide.
The duo won a public vote against five other acts hoping to represent the UK.
Joe said, "Singing You’re Not Alone, we’re trying to get the message across that we are together and unified as an act. We’re very similar and the more time we spend with each other the more we get on."
On their friendship Jake says "Joe is genuine, generous…. he’ll put anyone else before himself, and he’s funny."
While Joe says "Jake is driven, genuine and honest. If I mess up he’ll tell me straight! The Voice experience brought us together as friends and we’re looking at our careers differently now we’re working with one another."
Lyrics - 'You're Not Alone'
Heartbeat, when you're not around its beating slow,
and it's something that I've never known... oh-oh-oh
I'll be, I'll be the answer you've been waiting for,
I'll be the truth that you've been looking for... oh-oh-oh
Chorus
You're not alone,
we're in this together,
all that you want is right here forever,
and they don't need to know,
they don't need to know
You're not alone,
we're in this together,
all that you want, I'm right here forever,
and they don't need to know,
and they don't need to know
You're free, free to let go 'cause I'll be here for you,
and when you fall I'll be your parachute - oh oh oh
I-I-I feel like I'm dancing in the sky,
I come alive when I'm with you,
I come alive when I'm with you
Chorus
You're not alone,
We're in this together,
all that you want, is right here forever
and they don't need to know,
they don't need to know.
I-I-I feel like I'm dancing in the sky,
I come alive when I'm with you,
I come alive when I'm with you
Don’t speak, your smile tells me all I need to know,
your eyes show me where I want to go - oh
You're not alone
We're in this together
All that you want, is right here forever
and they don't need to know,
they don't need to know.
I-I-I feel like I'm dancing in the sky,
I come alive when I'm with you,
I come alive when I'm with you
