BGT Winner Calum Scott Performs 'You Are The Reason' With MerseyGirls

After winning Britain's Got Talent five years ago, superstar musician, Calum Scott, returned to the stage to perform 'You Are The Reason' with previous BGT contestants, the MerseyGirls dance team.


In one of the most dazzling musical performances in the history of BGT, two previous contestants, Calum Scott and the MerseyGirls, shared an incredibly festive stage for the Christmas special of Britain's Got Talent.

As the camera moves around an elaborate and beautiful winter wonderland stage, we see the choreographed MerseyGirls surrounding a throne of ice. The camera proceeds to pan to a side stage with large decorated Christmas trees and Christmas presents, revealing a very formally dressed Calum Scott singing his very own, 'You Are The Reason' alongside the accompanying pianist.

And if I could turn back the clock
I'd make sure the light defeated the dark
I'd spend every hour, of every day keeping you safe

As Calum sings, the judges and the audience watch intently as the MerseyGirls dance to the music. In their matching winter-themed costumes, the girls and the icy background behind them blend well together, creating a very graceful and serene atmosphere.

When asked about the story behind the song, Calum stated, "You Are the Reason” started out as a song about something completely different than what it is now. It was originally written from a fragile place of anxiety and not knowing the cause of it, so the song started to become “Without A Reason”. But as we carried on writing, we realized how every relationship has difficult times but you stick with it because the love you fundamentally feel for the other person overrides everything else.”

This song and its meaning remind us that we won't always be able to handle every situation, but that the love and support of others can give us the reason we may need to conquer anything.

"Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy." Psalm 33:3
