New Found Glory is officially kicking off a new chapter. Today, the pop-punk vets revealed their blazing new single, “Laugh It Off,” as well as a music video to match. And that’s not all… the lead single is set to appear on Listen Up!, their new LP arriving on February 20, 2026, via Pure Noise Records.
The ensemble notes, “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. But you get so lost in the debate that you have to stop and laugh.”
They add, “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.”
As far as the LP, New Found Glory shares, “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.”
They conclude, “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.”
