Tom Grennan has 'finally caved' to his fans and released the Gillette song 'The Best A Man Can Get'. The song, which has been used in the razor company's marketing campaigns since the late 80s, was resung by Tom Grennan last year.

While Tom's version of the song has been part of the Gillette adverts since he sang it in 2023, it hasn't been released as an official single until now. Tom has now shared the official audio on YouTube, allowing fans to listen to it in full.

This news follows Tom doing a series of gigs this summer where several fans have been spotted either with Gillette tops, or even with a sign reading: 'Tom please play Gillette'.

Earlier this month, Tom performed in Gunnersbury Park, London which was one of his biggest headline shows, where he walked out to the song, and to thousands of fans cheering. He took to Instagram to share a video of this moment, and confirm the song would be released, writing: 'I have finally caved… The full version of @gilletteuk #TheBestAManCanGet is out now 😂 🙌 (link in bio)'.

It hit me hard watching him comprehend what had happened, trying to compute the madness and sadness of his new world now that his mum whom he loved so dearly had passed.
"It triggered memories for me of the loss of my cousin and best friend Alan when I was just a teenager, it broke so many of us. The song unravelled from me quite quickly. It was cathartic on many levels, thoughts of loss and heartbreak, dealing with the grief of death, or the breakdown of a relationship or friendship.
"These are all things that seem to have dominated my life in recent years, but sadly never get any easier to navigate. I'm grateful that the passing of time allows us to look back and remember the good times."
