Cruz is gearing up for the release of his latest single, For Ya Love, which he teased on social media over Christmas. The Beatles-inspired track has already generated buzz, with fans eagerly awaiting its debut.

Despite facing accusations of nepotism as the son of David and Victoria Beckham, Cruz has made it clear that he’s determined to carve out his own path in the music industry. “Not at all. Just a guitar,” he replied to one critic accusing him of using his family’s wealth to fund his career.

He’s also worked with industry heavyweights, including songwriter Ed Drewett and producer Fred Ball, as he continues to hone his craft.
