Iconic 00s band would ‘happily never hear hit song again'
Scouting For Girls are playing Glastonbury and they cannot wait
Yes, she is so lovely — but Scouting For Girls are tired of singing it.
Don’t worry, for those hoping to catch the 00s icons at Glastonbury alongside performers including Coldplay, SZA, Dua Lipa, Shania Twain, Seventeen and Cyndi Lauper,the band promises to play their biggest hit but that doesn’t mean it’s their favourite.
‘We love playing it in front of 10,000 or so people but I’m very happy never to hear that song again,’ lead singer Roy Stride told Metro.co.uk with a chuckle.
In 2007, childhood friends Roy, Greg Churchouse, and Peter Ellard released She’s So Lovely as part of their debut album.

The track shot up the UK charts, peaking at number seven but cementing itself as a pop culture classic that was destined to be played at parties forever.
It’s one of a handful of songs Roy calls the ‘crown jewels’, alongside Elvis Ain’t Dead and This Ain’t A Love Song.
Not one to miss the opportunity, the trio carried Greg’s entire drum kit to their tent in four trips long trips before playing a 20-minute set on stage.
‘We never thought it would take off,’ reminisced Roy, who has now returned to play the festival around five times, with number one hits under their belt.
‘Every time we’ve done Glastonbury, it’s been unforgettable. It really [is] magic.’
For Roy the magic isn’t about the performers though, it’s so much more than that.
He shared: ‘If you’ve never been to Glastonbury, it has to be on your bucket list. It is the most incredible mad crazy place you will go whether it rains or the sun shines it will be the most unforgettable thing.’
The trio are set to take to the Acoustic Stage at 8pm on Friday, so don’t forget to bring your olive costume.
