The track is the second to be taken from the bands forthcoming fourth studio album Desire, out on September 29 through Columbia Records.
Theo Hutchcraft said, "Ready To Go is a song about living life to the fullest. The video, in contrast, deals with grief and the difficulty a lot of men face when dealing with their emotions. Something which is particularly problematic in the North of England, where we shot the video. Hopefully both the song and the video carry a positive message about celebrating life “.
Whilst the first two Hurts album in particular were bathed in a dense, gothic atmosphere, third album Surrender saw the band branch out into new and different territories. And this theme continues throughout new offering, Desire, with songs like Chaperone, People Like Us and infectious second single Ready To Go showing a more focussed band than ever before.
