At this year's Teen Choice Awards, LIVE on August 11 th on FOX, The Wanted have been nominated in two categories: Choice Male Reality Stars and Choice Music Group. Earlier this year, The Wanted won 2013's People's Choice Award as Favorite Breakout Artist.

"We're massively excited about our new single 'We Own The Night,'" Nathan says. "It takes us right back to the sound which everyone knows us for and sets the mood for the new album." Tom adds, "It's taken us two years to make this album and now that it's finally finished we are all really proud of the time and effort, not just that we put in to it but all the writers and the label too. We think it's our strongest album to date. We can't wait for our fans to hear it. They've been really patient but hopefully they'll think it's worth the wait!"

Anticipation was high for the June 2 nd cable television premiere of The Wanted Life on NBC Universal's E! network, which presented an unvarnished look at life behind the scenes with The Wanted, as they settled together in the Hollywood Hills to begin recording their new album in Los Angeles. The Wanted Life was produced by Ryan Seacrest Productions, SB Productions and Global Television.

Since the UK release of their self-titled 2010 debut album, The Wanted have become front page news around the world, with their sensationally infectious tunes and rock solid friendship. They have a pair of #1 UK singles to their credit "Glad You Came" and "All Time Low" as well as the Top 5 hits "Chasing The Sun" and "I Found You." WORD OF MOUTH will be their third album in the UK, and their debut album in the U.S., where they have sold over 4 million total singles since last year.
