New Found Glory unveil new single: “It’s meant to inspire fans and people going through hard times”

Fresh from announcing a long-awaited UK headline tour, New Found Glory are back with brand-new music.

The pop-punk legends have unleashed new single 100%, which is their first for Pure Noise Records (home to Knocked Loose, State Champs, The Story So Far and loads more great bands).

Of its meaning, they explain: “No matter what, life is gonna hit you with unexpected tough times. It’s unavoidable. Sometimes we are lucky to prepare for them and other times they come out of nowhere. In those moments we can choose to face them head on and rise to the challenge. Find ways to grow from them, share your struggles with others to help them grow. Or there’s the opposite and what I’d advise against which is feeling like a victim, blaming the world, and just being stuck.

“This song 100% is meant to inspire fans and people going through hard times. Giving 100% of yourself whatever that is. For NFG, our outlet has always been music. It’s our positive escape. For instance, the lyric in the song ‘These songs aren’t for awards it’s how we take a breath’ I think is a sentiment that has always resonated with our fans and built our connection. Very excited for this song and the guitar riffs too! A strong suit and characteristic of New Found Glory that’s fun to be back as a centrepiece.”
