We have another edition of the Secret Song Quiz – can you guess the song from just three clues and a tiny snippet?

Glasgow duo HYYTS are self-isolating together, having just released their first single since signing to Warner records. We’ve been massive supporters of them since the beginning, so Grant gets them to dial in for a chat and a play of their new single, The Low Sound.
