However, 21-year-old Aston took time out from his hectic schedule to speak of his nerves ahead of the single's release and his joy at his upcoming appearance in Peterborough.
Speaking from the offices of Sony, in London, he said: "I'm really excited about Beat Again's release, because of the amount of air play it has been getting.
"It's been on Radio One, One Xtra, Heart, everywhere, and I think it's amazing. The music channels have also been playing the video numerous times."
Get your wristband: meet JLS
HMV has released details on how you can get your hands on wristbands, which will give you the chance to meet JLS and collect a signed copy of their debut single, Beat Again.
JLS will at HMV, in Queensgate, Peterborough, on Tuesday, July 14, from 4.30pm for a signing only session. Fans can pick up free wrist- bands at HMV which allow them access to the event from the store at 8am on the same day.
One wristband per customer is the maximum allowed, and wristbands can only be collected in person, while stocks last, subject to availability, at the participating store only.

"Doing the video was very tough and hard going, but I really enjoyed it and I think you can tell we were working very hard to get everything right in the whole routine.
"Beat Again was a joint decision with the record company (Epic Records), our management and us and we all thought it was a fantastic record.
"I've got my fingers crossed, everyone wasn't to have a number one song. We've had success with Hero, the X Factor finalist song, but this is JLS.
"To get a number one would mean the world to us, but top five would be unbelievable. Peterborough has given me so much love and support, but this is where the real test begins."
In past few months, JLS, which stands for Jack the Lad Swing, have played in front of thousands of fans in a number of high profile concerts, including Radio One's Big Weekend, in Swindon.
However, their most enjoyable concert was the Capital FM Summerball at the Emirates Stadium, in London, where they were given a huge reception from 50,000 fans.
"Some artists who have been around for years haven't done stadium gigs, so for us it was unreal. I have never felt a buzz like it and people were saying we were the highlight of the show," added Aston.
