British band New Hope Club dropped their newest single “Trouble in Paradise” on Sept. 6. This is the band’s first release since releasing their most recent album, Getting Better, earlier this year.
According to the band, “Trouble in Paradise” is about gut-wrenching disappointment. The band added:
“It all started with a relationship that was so good in the beginning but like a lot of things, began to unravel. We’ve all been there, when a relationship burns so hot in the beginning but then fizzles just as quickly. The initial love bubble. Then the ‘oh shit’ realization.”
The band worked with acclaimed producer Ross Golan and songwriter John Ryan to write this track. On working with them, the band said:
“We are huge fans of The Police / Sting and wanted to experiment with what a New Hope Club take could sound like with the help of Ross Golan and John Ryan. We ended up with this driving but sort of haunting beat that sonically takes you through the realization that there might be ‘trouble in paradise.’ We wrote this song back in 2021, but have had it stuck in our heads ever since. We played it on our most recent world tour and it was immediately a fan favorite.”
Since the song’s release, fans have already memorized it by heart. To sing your heart out to all your favorite New Hope Club songs in person, be sure to check out the band’s website for upcoming tour dates and tickets.
