Following the release of “She Is Afraid” and “You Know Who The Fuck We Are” from their forthcoming album, The Same Old Wasted Wonderful World, Motion City Soundtrack has unleashed their latest offering, “Your Days Are Numbered,” featuring Mat Kerekes of Citizen.
Motion City Soundtrack shares, “‘Your Days Are Numbered’ is a special song for us. It’s one we carried with us as a band for a long time, letting it grow until it was ready to be shared. The last few years have been hard on all of us personally, with the loss of family members and loved ones. Releasing this song now feels like the right time—a sad, but powerful anthem we needed to put into the world.”

They continue, “Jesse reached out to his friend Mat Kerekes (Citizen) to see if he’d be interested in singing on a track. He said yes, so we sent him a few options we thought might fit, while also pushing around some other ideas. But Mat immediately gravitated toward this one, telling us, ‘It really resonates with me,’ and then jokingly added, ‘and I’m emo.’ He wasn’t kidding — the raw emotion he brought to ‘Your Days Are Numbered’ is something we truly love.”
Motion City Soundtrack’s upcoming album, due Sept. 19, isn’t short on collaborators. In addition to the latest single, the record will feature contributions from Fall Out Boy frontman Patrick Stump and Chicago’s Sincere Engineer. You can preorder and pre-save the album here.
This fall, the band will take the new material on the road. After a stop at The Fest in Gainesville, they’ll be joined by Say Anything for a full run of U.S. dates. Check out their full touring schedule below and grab tickets here.
