The track\u2019s addictive, sultry guitar strums burn in the background of the mellow and alluring dancehall-infused beat, helmed by Banx &amp; Ranx (Dua Lipa \/ Sean Paul \/ David Guetta).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">UK rap star Stefflon Don elevates the track with her signature panache during her guest verse, with the two coming together flawlessly in the song\u2019s unforgettable chorus: \u201cSugar, don\u2019t you know that you\u2019re the reason why I get up in the morning?\u201d JP croons in the chorus alongside luscious harmonising with Stefflon Don.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">About \u2018The Reason Why\u2019, JP says:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8220;I\u2019m so happy to finally be releasing this track. It\u2019s been kicking around on a hard drive for quite some time now, but it never quite felt finished&#8230;until Stef got on board. Banx &amp; Ranx have brought their signature island vibe and Stef\u2019s presence on the record offers the prefect juxtaposition to my delivery. This is why I love collaboration so much!&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2018The Reason Why\u2019 follows JP\u2019s previous single \u2018Sing It With Me\u2019 featuring pop sensation Astrid S, which has racked up a phenomenal 55 million streams since its May 2019 release date. Both tracks further establish JP as one of UK music\u2019s most exciting and versatile names, thanks to his natural ability to craft uplifting and infectious earworms with a sincerity that resonates with any audience. A deft songwriter and a singer with soulful brilliance, JP Cooper has a rich era-spanning appreciation of music, and an innate need to turn life experiences into narrative.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The star has two UK Top Ten singles to his name: the Jonas Blue smash \u2018Perfect Strangers\u2019, which he co-wrote, and the inescapable radio hit \u2018September Song\u2019 (which has had over 600 million streams worldwide). JP has since notched up an incredible 10 million single units worldwide, a whopping 9.4 million monthly Spotify listeners and an extraordinary 2.4 billion streams. His UK Top Ten album also contained the infectious, \u2018She\u2019s on My Mind\u2019, the gospel tinged, soaring \u2018Passport Home\u2019 and \u2018Momma\u2019s Prayers\u2019 a collaboration with Stormzy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">No stranger to the live arena, \u2018The Reason Why\u2019 comes as JP rounds up his string of sold out headline dates across the UK and Europe. JP has sold out shows at London\u2019s most famous venues including The Village Underground, KOKO, O2 Forum Kentish Town, O2 Shepherd\u2019s Bush Empire, Heaven and Roundhouse.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">JP has his sights firmly set on reclaiming his masterful crown, with more new music pencilled to be released before the year is through.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Stream and download &#8216;The Reason Why&#8217; <a href=\"https:\/\/jpcooper.lnk.to\/TheReasonWhyTW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.
