Today marks a monumental day in rock history as GRAMMY® winners and Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Aerosmith join forces with multi-platinum British phenomenon Yungblud for the release of their collaborative EP, ‘One More Time’. Available now via Capitol Records, this exciting five-track project is Aerosmith’s first release of new recorded material in over 12 years, successfully bridging two distinct eras of rock ‘n’ roll with powerful new music. Featuring the iconic vocals of Steven Tyler and Yungblud, alongside Joe Perry’s signature guitar work, the EP offers a captivating blend of classic grit and modern edge.
A Fresh Sound Driven by Collaboration
The project showcases four original tracks co-written by the band and Yungblud, demonstrating a genuine musical chemistry between the artists. The lead single, “My Only Angel,” debuted on September 19th and quickly climbed to number one on Billboard’s Hot Hard Rock Songs chart, where the track’s poignant opening harmony, “Will you cry if I called you my angel? Would you leave me one more time?”, sets a compelling stage. The collaboration didn’t stop there: an acoustic “Desert Road Version” of the song features a special guest appearance by GRAMMY® winner Steve Martin on banjo, adding a unique texture. The EP also includes dynamic songs like “Problems,” where Yungblud’s voice glides over a cinematic soundscape, and the quintessential ballad “A Thousand Days,” featuring the powerful exchange, “Babe, Heaven’s gonna burn down officially” (Yungblud) and “I’ve been looking for redemption” (Tyler).
Honoring the Past, Powering the Future
The EP’s tracklist wraps up by honoring Aerosmith’s legacy with “Back In The Saddle (2025 Mix).” This reimagined classic combines the original’s integrity with amplified energy, blending Tyler’s iconic wail with Yungblud’s gritty interpretation. The visual design of ‘One More Time’ is equally unique, featuring exclusive artwork created by Joe Foti of Chrome Hearts. To celebrate this landmark release, a two-day Aerosmith x YUNGBLUD pop-up is scheduled for Friday, November 21st through Saturday, November 22nd, at Complex LA (433 N Fairfax Ave, Los Angeles, CA). Fans are invited to RSVP to experience exclusive merchandise and collectibles.
The release of ‘One More Time’ shows that the fire of rock ‘n’ roll burns brightly across generations. It’s an essential listen for fans of both Aerosmith and Yungblud, available now in digital formats, as well as limited-edition vinyl, CD, and cassette.
