U2 are back with their first original new song in two years, Atomic City.
Produced by Jacknife Lee and Steve Lillywhite, the anthemic rock track was recorded at Los Angeles' legendary Sound City Studios. Structured around a prominent groove, the hooky chorus is similar to Blondie's Call Me, which is no coincidence, with both frontwoman Debbie Harry and producer Giorgio Moroder receiving co-writer credits.
The song's accompanying video was filmed on Fremont Street in Las Vegas, the same location the video was shot for their late '80s classic I Still Haven't Found What I’m Looking For. Take a look below.
It arrives the same day the Irish band kick off their U2:UV Achtung Baby Live residency at the state-of-the-art MSG Sphere venue in Vegas, celebrating their 1991 album 'Achtung Baby'.
Drummer Larry Mullen Jr., who appears on Atomic City and its video, won't be performing with the band for their run of shows as he takes time to recover from back surgery.
U2's last new release was Your Song Saved My Life, which appeared on the Sing 2 film soundtrack in 2021. Their most recent album was 2017's 'Songs of Experience'.
