Multi-platinum band Young the Giant released their new single, “Bitter Fruit”. Produced by Brendan O’Brien (AC/DC, Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan) and Young the Giant, and written by the band collectively, the anthemic song captures a yearning to reconnect with the wonder of youth — to feel alive, fall in love, and embrace life fully. An official music video for the track featuring never-before-seen studio footage is also out now.
Speaking on the new single, the band shared, “Bitter Fruit is a song about the struggle of being calloused by adulthood with a yearning to see the world fresh, through the eyes of a child: To feel alive and present with wonder and awe. When we wrote the line, ‘I wanna laugh and cry just like a child again,’ our engineer’s kids walked into the studio at that exact moment. It felt strangely fated.”
The release follows the band’s recent single “Different Kind Of Love,” which debuted as the #1 most-added track at Alternative Radio and #5 at Triple A in its first week — listen here. The track continues to climb at Alternative Radio, currently sitting in the Top 10. Both singles will appear on Young the Giant’s forthcoming sixth studio album Victory Garden, arriving May 1.
