U2 are set to return with their 14th studio album Songs Of Experience. Yesterday the band premiered the album's first single "You're The Best Thing About Me" which is available to stream below. Sian Evans (The Edge's daughter) graces the cover of the single - Evans was photographed by the legendary Anton Corbijn.
Songs Of Experience is the follow up to 2014's Songs Of Innocence and arrives on December 1st. As the band revealed to The New York Times, the album was finished some time ago, but in the wake of the global political atmosphere, U2 revisited the songs and lyrics and decided it needed to be reworked. The resulting album is a much darker record than it originally set out to be, and according to Bono the underlying theme is "joy as an act of defiance." The record reportedly also includes lyrical themes of "love, fear, mortality, responsibility and hope."
Tonight tune in to The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon to see U2 perform "You're The Best Thing About Me" live.
UPDATE: Video of U2's performance on Fallon is available to view below
