Yeah Yeah Yeahs have released a new single, called 'Burning'.

Out today, the track, which you can listen to above, is the second preview of the band's forthcoming album Cool It Down. The record was first announced in June when the Perfume Genius-featuring lead track 'Spitting Off The Edge Of The World' was released.

In a statement about 'Burning', Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Karen O said: "If the world is on fire, I hope the most beloved stay protected and that we do all we can to protect what we cherish most in this life. 'Burning' is a song about that feeling, smoke signals for the soul. Begging to cool it down, just doing it the best we know how. Nick [Zinner] and I nodded to Frankie Valli's 'Beggin', with the line, 'Oooh lay your red hand on me baby'. We've cut a rug to many a soulful sixties bangers in our day, it was in our DNA by the time we wrote 'Burning'."

Secretly Canadian will release Cool It Down on September 30, 2022.
