The song, which will feature Victoria Beckham, is being released as part of the band’s Wannabe25 EP when it goes on sale next month.

It is a demo of a previously unreleased ballad written by the Spice Girls and Wannabe co-writers Richard ‘Biff’ Stannard and Matt Rowe.

A slow, soulful song, it was thought to have never been released because it was consider too racy for their audience at the time.

However, a short snippet did wind up getting leaked on the internet in 2016.
