It is just me, or has it been a minute since we last heard something new from Imagine Dragons?
OK, it’s not just me. The rock group has long-promised that a follow-up to their breakout debut album, Night Visions, would eventually see the light of day, and with the release of their new song, “I Bet My Life,” it looks like that day is finally coming.
“I know I took the path that you would never want for me/ I know I let you down, didn’t I?/ So many sleepless nights where you were waiting up on me/ Well I’m just a slave unto the night,” frontman Dan Reynolds sings in a bid for forgiveness.
The band has spent the last week teasing new lyrics and their new single’s cover art on Instagram, which they followed up by tweeting: “Back to the studio for us. Good things to come. Very soon. Peace and love to all you wonderful people out there across the world.”
Earlier this year MTV News spoke with Reynolds about the state of Imagine Dragons’ sophomore LP, and the self-proclaimed perfectionist assured they won’t be putting out a full album until they’re completely satisfied with it.
“The most important thing to us is that we put out an album that we’re really happy with,” Reynolds said. “We tend to be perfectionists, too hard on ourselves at times, and we don’t want to rush anything because we know how we are with things. We don’t want to put a record out until we really feel good about it, you know, and who knows how long that will take.”
