"Wake Up" is a song by British pop band The Vamps. It was released on 2 October 2015 as the lead single from their second studio album of the same name (2015).[2]The song interpolates the drum beats of the song "Every Day Is Exactly The Same" by the American Industrial Rock band Nine Inch Nails.

Music video[]

A music video was produced for the song and was released on 4 October 2015. It features The Vamps and the acting debut of Brooklyn Beckham.[3]

The video shows multiple fans moving receivers, speakers and computers into positions around the city, with The Vamps themselves making their way to a radio station on the outskirts of the city. A video of The Vamps singing the song as glitchy images is seen on several devices, with The Vamps themselves talking about it in a van on the way to the radio station. A shot of Earth from the upper atmosphere is shown and the music volume lowers slightly. When The Vamps get to the radio station, they begin performing on the roof of it while some of their fans broadcast the video around the city, which shatters windows. Once they receive the broadcast, their fans start singing along.
