Keith said: “It wasn’t like I set out to write a song called ‘Superman’.

“I like when listeners can put their own story, their own faces and their own characters into the song, and this one to me, is definitely one of those songs.”

Back in April, Keith released the first single from his upcoming new 2020 album, titled ‘Polaroid’.
