In 2014, Union J left RCA and signed with [[Epic Records]]. "[[Tonight (We Live Forever)]]", the lead single from their second album, was released on 17 August 2014. This was followed up by "[[You Got It All (Union J song)|You Got It All]]", written by [[Magic!]]'s [[Nasri (musician)|Nasri]], released in November 2014. Although it was the most purchased single of the week, [[audio streaming]] of [[Ed Sheeran]]'s "[[Thinking Out Loud (Ed Sheeran song)|Thinking Out Loud]]" prevented it from reaching the number one spot. Their second album, ''[[You Got It All – The Album]]'', reached number 28 on the UK Albums Chart.
