Taking Back Sunday are back with their first new track in four years, The One.

The rousing, emotion-fuelled rock song arrives with a DJay Brawner-directed video ahead of the Long Island band's run of US shows in July as part of the touring Sad Summer Festival. They also have a handful of dates in the diary for August and September. In a statement about the new track, the band said:

"The One is a sweet love song—full-on John Cusack holding a boombox… We’ve been waiting a long time to share this song and we’re so excited that we finally can. We hope you love it as much as we do.

"This song came from a riff that Shaun Cooper wrote the day he lost his grandmother while she was in a nursing home at the start of the Covid pandemic. 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."

Produced by Tushar Apte and mixed by Neal Avron, it marks the quartet's first new music since the couple of recordings included on their 2019 compilation album, 'Twenty'. Prior to that, they dropped the 'Tidal Wave' LP in 2016.
