"I'll Be There" is a song by Britain's Got Talent series 9 finalists The Neales. It was released as their debut single on 10 June 2016, with all profits going to charity. The single peaked at number 22 on the UK Singles Chart.
The Neales - made up of father Laurie Neale and his three sons James, Dan and Phil - reached the Britain's Got Talent final in 2015, where they sang a cover of the Cat Stevens song "Father and Son".

The group went on a tour of Tesco stores to promote the single. [2]
Group member Phil had worked for Tesco since 2014, and his father Laurie had suffered a heart attack 10 years before their appearance on Britain's Got Talent. Their experiences gave them the inspiration to write the song and raise money to help people who were recovering from heart conditions. [2]
