His new song follows the success of his previous single Hey Ma and is a tribute to his uncle Mick.
"Talking With You is about my uncle back home in Ireland, who I'm very close with," Aaron says. "Mick has no kids and sort of adopted me, in a way.
"I felt a bit guilty about moving away to London to chase my music because I knew that meant I wouldn’t get to spend as much time with him - so this one’s for Mick."
Over the last couple of weeks, Aaron, who recently made his Glastonbury debut, supported Zach Bryan at BST Hyde Park in London and was announced as a support act for all dates on Lewis Capaldi’s forthcoming sold out UK and Ireland arena tour.
Aaron also just supported Ed Sheeran at his huge Ipswich show and has been announced to support Sam Fender at his Belfast show in August.
