Bastille is back! The band has returned with their first new single, "Save My Soul," in three years, fresh off the heels of their successful "From All Sides" UK tour.
"Save My Soul," which fans first heard during the tour, captures the energy and spontaneity of the band reuniting for rehearsals. It blends the emotional depth of Bastille's earlier work with a fresh, invigorated sound. The song includes lyrics, "I always thought that you saw me in a different light/ And I saw you as a different kind," continuing in the chorus, "Why'd you wanna save my soul?/ It's way too late for that, but you could wake my heart/ Save my soul/ There ain't much chance of that, but you could wakе my heart."
In a statement, frontman Dan Smith explained of the song, "We hadn't really thought of working on new music, but 'Save My Soul' came about from us all hanging out and rehearsing for these gigs recently. We've really loved playing it at these shows and are really excited to be releasing something new. It's been a while."
The single's release marks the beginning of a new chapter for Bastille, as they continue to evolve their sound. The band plans to headline the Big Feastival in 2026 and will perform at the "Starry Night" fundraiser at the Royal Albert Hall next month.
