Taking Back Sunday have shared an official video for their new song “The One.” The band commented:
“‘The One‘ is a sweet love song — full on John Cusack holding a boombox. We’ve been waiting a long time to share this song and we’re so excited that we finally can. We hope you love it as much as we do.
This song came from a riff that Shaun Cooper wrote the day he lost his grandmother while she was in a nursing home at the start of the Covid pandemic. Devastated with overpowering sadness, he found comfort in writing music and initially titled the riff ‘Posivibes’ in an effort to find some light through the darkness. He never shared the story of the title or how that riff came together with us until after it was complete. Shaun didn’t want his story affecting the ultimate meaning of the song, because it’s actually an uplifting one.”
