Muse have announced a new album, The WOW! Signal, out on June 26th via Warner Records. They’ve also shared a brand new song, “Be With You.”
For their tenth album, Muse looked to the cosmos for inspiration; its name comes from a famous space observation logged in 1977, when an astronomer detected a powerful 72-second radio burst originating from the constellation Sagittarius. Believing it to be from a potentially extraterrestrial source, the astronomer circled the sequence “6EQUJ5” and wrote “WOW!” beside it. Their new album isn’t Muse’s only foray into the mysteries and allure of outer space, having frequently touched on cosmic and philosophical themes on albums like Black Holes and Revelations and Simulation Theory and songs like “Neutron Star Collision.”
The trio are also spreading the news of the new album in a particularly apt way: literally sending it to space. In partnership with Sent Into Space, Muse sent a specially-designed tablet 33km up into the atmosphere to premiere the video for their new song, “Be With You.” They also launched a secondary package containing stickers for a limited-edition vinyl release to be claimed by fans.

As for “Be With You,” the band have aimed for a sound as large as space itself, employing all their anthemic might and letting frontman Matthew Bellamy’s vocals soar. Unlike their last album Will of the People or their 2025 single “Unravelling” — which won’t appear on The WOW! Signal — “Be With You” takes more cues from electronic music and the outsized future bass stylings of producers like Illenium. Though it reads like a love song, there’s certainly an air of discovery and hope in “Be With You.” Watch the track’s cosmic-themed music video below.
Muse’s last album was 2022’s Will of the People. Since then, they re-emerged in 2025 to offer the standalone single “Unravelling” and headlined a select few fests in Europe. They’ve yet to announce a North American tour in support of The WOW! Signal, but they do have a pair of performances set for this summer at Milwaukee’s Summerfest and Quebec City’s Festival d’été de Québec. Get tickets to see Muse here.
