The Linda Lindas have a new album on the way. Gotta Get Out comes out August 28 via Reprise/Warner Records, following up 2024’s No Obligation. Today’s announcement comes with the release of the soaring new single ‘Closer’, a collaboration with Paramore’s Hayley Williams. Check it out below.
“‘Closer’ is about feeling like you’re losing control of time, and watching yourself grow older from afar,” the band’s Bela Salazar and Lucia de la Garza said in a statement. “Lately, we’ve been realizing how important it is to stay present, especially when our lives feel constantly in motion. It feels perfect that Hayley Williams was down to collaborate on this song with us, because we’ve been fans of her throughout so many of her different eras – and she’s seen us grow up over the last ten years! We’ll always be honored that we got to write and get emo with the queen of emo herself.”
In addition to singing on the track, Williams helped write the bridge, and they all went to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios once the session was over. Hayley later told them the song felt like listening to her teenage self; it might feel like that for you, too.
