New Found Glory Announce First Album In Six Years 'Listen Up!', Share New Track Laugh It Off

New Found Glory have shared details of their first album in almost six years.
Partly inspired by guitarist Chad Gilbert's ongoing battle with cancer, 'Listen Up!' will arrive through Pure Noise Records on February 20, following up 2020's 'Forever + Ever x Infinity' and 2023's acoustic release 'Make The Most Of It'. The band said:
"The overall message/theme of this album is to encourage hope through hard times, while also looking at the world as somewhat of a fly on a wall: seeing people’s fear, negativity, and stress about small things that only scratch the surface of what life will eventually – but bring in a hopeful way. We want to encourage hope that the hard times will bring growth and strength. So the music is super fun and anthemic and loose feeling. We’re singing loud and proud about the scars and not in a pity party sort of way.
"There’s also a lot of reflection. We’re looking back at the good ol’ days as reminders of all we've been through in life that led us to the people we are today. Sonically the album has that juxtaposition too. It’s fun pop melodies mixed with the heavier, riffed songs."
The record will include their spring single 100%, along with the newly shared track Laugh It Off, both of which serve up their signature energetic blend of pop-punk and rock.
"This is an upbeat song based around this lead riff that recurs throughout, while the lyrics are about being on each other’s case in a relationship at times," the band explained. "But you get so lost in the debate that you have to stop and laugh. The connection is so deep that you always end up acknowledging that it was a silly argument. And you always end up laughing, especially in the middle of the argument when someone pronounces something wrong or says something backwards. Life’s too short to get hung up on the little passing things."
New Found Glory recently wrapped up their dates supporting The Offspring on the North American leg of their Supercharged Worldwide In '25 Tour. This month, they'll play Live At Epcot! and embark on their first headline UK tour in eight years, featuring support from Real Friends and Koyo, before heading to Australia in December for the Good Things Festival. Tickets are on sale now.
