Disturbed has finally returned with new music — their first since 2018's Evolution album — and have shared their brand new single "Hey You."
"Hey You" is the first taste of Disturbed's forthcoming new album, which is set to be released later this year. In the track, they sing, "Hey you/ Are you angered enough/ Do you feel confined/ Are you losing your mind/ Hey You/ Done putting up with it Inner peace isn’t easy to find/ Hey You/ Are you strong enough to stop jumping in/ Can we begin again then."
In a statement, Disturbed's David Draiman shared of the song, "It's a wake up call. We’ve become our own worst enemies. Civil discourse has become the exception instead of the norm. People have lost themselves in outrage addiction."
Along with the release of "Hey You" is the song's accompanying music video, directed by Josiahx.
Disturbed's upcoming new album has yet to be officially announced, but at a recent show in New Jersey, Draiman explained of the band's new music, "We have a new record that will soon be released, and it’s about 90 percent heavy as f***. Now there’s still 10 percent of caring, loving goodness – 10 percent. Hey, for everybody that fell in love with [their cover of Simon and Garfunkel’s] The Sound Of Silence, I figured, you know… But the rest of it? Sickness, Ten Thousand Fists-era Disturbed, for sure. You excited about that? 'Cause I’ll tell you we're really fucking excited about it."
