Pale Waves Share Energetic New Single “Reasons To Live”

English pop punk band Pale Waves recently released their euphoric new single “Reasons To Live” ahead of their tour kick off with fellow pop rock band 5 Seconds Of Summer. The track is the latest from their upcoming album Unwanted which will make its debut later this year on August 12 via Dirty Hit. 

Frontwoman Heather Baron-Gracie commented on the new track and its personal meaning, “‘Reasons To Live’” is about a time when I felt truly drained and incapable of happiness. Then I found someone who showed me a reason to live.”

The track also follows lead single “Lies” which served as a rebellious anthem, inspired by both the ‘90s and 2000s. The song was recorded in Los Angeles alongside producer Zakk Cervini who has worked with Blink-182, Halsey, Machine Gun Kelly and more. The mesmerizing video for the single was directed by Vasilisa Forbes.

Starting June 11, the band will be supporting 5SOS on their summer 2022 North American tour dates which will kick off with a show in Vancouver, Canada at the Thunderbird Arena. Pale Waves will also be performing at some major festivals including Riot Fest, Leeds Festival and Reading Festival. You can view the full list of tour dates below!
