On September 30, New Found Glory announced a brand new, full length album after six years. Mark your calendars for February 20, 2026, for their brand new album, Listen Up!. They gave fans a little taste of the album with singles “Laugh It Off” and “100%.” This will be the band’s first album since signing with their new record label, Pure Noise Records, back in April.
The band shared that this album serves as a reminder: though times might get hard, it is important to hold onto hope. They explain that many of the songs on the album speak about all the scars each band member carries, but also about how they got through it because of the hope they each carried. While creating the album, it brought back memories of the good old days and reminded them of all the battles they’ve faced, and overcome along the way.
“Laugh it Off” came out on September 30 and “100%” on April 30.
When taking a deep dive into the lyrics of “Laugh it Off,” it gives a sense of mistakes made in a relationship. It captures how little arguments can become powerful enough to cause long-lasting damage. Once everything is over, you’re left to face yourself and come to terms with the loss of that special person who is no longer by your side.
Now, when I took a deep dive into “100%,” the lyrics seemed to express that no matter how you feel, or what you are going through, you should still give 100% in everything you do.
