Taking Back Sunday Release First New Single In Four Years, ‘The One’
Taking Back Sunday have released The One, their first new single in four years. Watch the video below.
The One is described as “a sweet love song – full-on John Cusack holding a boombox” by the band. “We’ve been waiting a long time to share this song and we’re so excited that we finally can,” they added. “We hope you love it as much as we do.”
They went on to explain how the song was written: “This song came from a riff that [bassist] Shaun Cooper wrote the day he lost his grandmother while she was in a nursing home at the start of the COVID pandemic.”
They continued: “Devastated with overpowering sadness, he found comfort in writing music and initially titled the riff ‘Posivibes’ in an effort to find some light through the darkness. He never shared the story of the title or how that riff came together with us until after it was complete. Shaun didn’t want his story affecting the ultimate meaning of the song, because it’s actually an uplifting one.”
