AJR has returned with a new single called “Betty.”
The trio premiered the tune during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night (July 8).
Acoustic guitar and a sing-along chorus open the song, with the group declaring “Betty, I really hope you’re on my side / I really hope you get it.” Frontman Jack Met then launches into the verse, detailing the struggles of a man in a serious relationship, and the pressures that come with it.
“Betty is a very personal song about grappling with the idea of ‘forever’ with the person you love,” the band explained via press release. “It’s about the pressure we feel at this age to propose and settle down, and the confusion that comes with it.”
Following their Kimmel performance, AJR dropped the official music video for “Betty,” which you can watch below. The song is the first taste of AJR’s upcoming EP, What No One’s Thinking, due out Aug. 29.
AJR will launch a U.S. tour on July 18 in Sparks, Nevada. Full tour dates can be found below.
