U2 have dropped the first single from their forthcoming 14th studio album, Songs of Experience, and it’s titled “You’re The Best Thing About Me.”
The band have also announced that the song will get its live debut tomorrow night on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Check it out below with its lyric video.
According to a press release, Songs Of Experience is the companion release to 2014’s Songs Of Innocence, the two titles drawing inspiration from a collection of poems, ‘Songs of Innocence and Experience’, by the 18th century English mystic and poet William Blake. While Songs of Innocence charted the band’s earliest influences and experiences in the late 1970s and early 80s, the new album is a collection of songs in the form of intimate letters to places and people close to the Bono’s heart; family, friends, fans, himself.
Songs of Experience will be available physically on CD and vinyl, as well as a digital download; the release date and pre-order details will be announced soon.
