Help me Identify this Song with Garbled Lyrics!

song search by lyrics google

It is a male singer and I’ve got this feeling it was used on the ITV talent shows, but whether it was just popular to be used at that time I’m not sure. I thought it might be someone like Bruno Mars but it doesn’t seem to be. When I hear the song, I cannot make out the lyrics, so cannot do a typical search. I know that the word ‘snow’ comes up and the phrase ‘never gonna’. This is driving me nuts – any help or ideas appreciated.
