I Still Believe is the fourth single the Detroit-born star has released from her new album and her Glastonbury performance will be part of Thank You’s UK tour dates.

Co-written by Dua Lipa collaborator Autumn Rowe alongside Ruth Anne Cunningham, I Still Believe was produced by Jack Antonoff and is ‘an uplifting song about love, hope and positivity’.

Ross recorded her latest album Thank You in her home studio and it marks her 25th studio record.

The ‘very personal’ collection of songs were curated with the theme of gratitude and dedicated to the audiences that have supported her throughout the years, according to an accompanying press release.

It was reported earlier this month that Ross’ place on Glastonbury’s 2022 line-up was to be announced in the coming days.

The Supremes star had been scheduled to perform on the Pyramid stage at the Worthy Farm festival in 2020 but it was cancelled due to the pandemic.

The singer will now embark on her UK Thank You tour at various dates around the country next June before a few days break in her schedule, which leaves her free for the event.

She told ‘So many people asked me to return to the UK – I’m answering the call, and looking forward to seeing everyone next summer.

‘The audiences are really the exciting part for me in the show. There is always a connection that I feel when I am on stage. I love being able to look out and see the faces.

‘When you’re watching me, I’m also watching you.

‘Everything is really about give and take. It’s you and me. It’s us together. It’s never me by myself. My musicians with me are my family away from home.

Kylie Minogue, Lionel Richie and Dolly Parton have previously played in the Sunday legends slot.
