Background

[edit]

In an interview with Fault magazine, Redknapp shared, "I wanted to make music I loved rather than just ticking a box for what worked in the industry. I think I’ve forever had to fight to prove myself [...] I'm still fighting to prove myself. I feel that the hardest hurdle is to keep on knocking down those doors to prove myself."[1] "Super Magic" is Redknapp's first release under BMG.[2] It debuted at number 89 on the UK Official Singles Downloads Chart Top 100 on 18 November 2022.[3] On 12 January 2023, Redknapp announced that her Greatest Hits collection, spanning thirty years in the music industry, would be released in June 2023. Information at the time showed that the compilation would contain five new songs, including a cover of Janet Jackson's 1997 single "Together Again".[4][5][6]
