Heralding it is the first single from that forthcoming effort, \u201cStreet of Dreams,\u201d which hit DSPs as a single and music video early Tuesday.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<p>\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"U2 - Street Of Dreams (Official Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hRnS0Wf64Is?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe streets are not the only thing that has no name; even with this first single coming out, no title has been announced yet for the album. A release date has not been given, either, although the album is being promised as arriving some time this year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tIf fans had to bet on a time the new album might come out, September might be the likeliest time, at least if the band is feeling at all sentimental. The group will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of their formation that month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tCliqua directed the music video. It will come as no surprise to fans that the video was shot in Mexico City. In May, the band was photographed and video-ed while performing their new song atop a school bus graffitied by Mexican artist Chavis M\u00e1rmol. While they were south of the border, the group also attended the 2026 Street Child World Cup Finals Tournament at Parque Ecol\u00f3gico Lago de Texcoco. The new song contains a few lines in Spanish (see the full lyrics, below).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe forthcoming album will be U2\u2019s first full-length collection of new studio material since \u201cSongs of Surrender\u201d came out in December 2017. However, the band has made significant additions to its discography as of late, just not in the full album format. The Irishmen released two conceptual EPs this year \u2014 the protest-song-themed \u201cDays of Ash,\u201d which got a surprise release on Feb. 18, aka Ash Wednesday, followed by the more upbeat \u201cEaster Lily\u201d on April 3. Each of these EPs contained six new songs, but the band made it clear that in both cases, this was material that would not be appearing on the coming album. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe group\u2019s last album in any form was 2023\u2019s \u201cSongs of Surrender,\u201d which had the group re-recording 40 songs from its catalog in a stripped-down format.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tLyrics for the new song:<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<em>God hear me shout<br \/>Lend your ear to my prayer<br \/>When I\u2019m far from anywhere<br \/>Down to my last breath of air<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<em>God hear me shout<br \/>Lend your ear to my prayer<br \/>When I\u2019m far from anywhere<br \/>Down to my last breath of air<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<em>La calle, calle de los sue\u00f1os<br \/>All the doors are open on the street of dreams<br \/>La calle, calle de los sue\u00f1os<br \/>Broken are the chosen on the street of dreams<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<em>Be here<br \/>Be free<br \/>Be yourself<br \/>And then free me<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<em>Your fate?<br \/>(Gonna fight it)<br \/>Your trust?<br \/>(Won\u2019t be denied)<br \/>This bus?<br \/>(Gonna ride it)<br \/>To the street of dreams<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<em>La calle, calle de los sue\u00f1os<br \/>Justice, an obsession on the street of dreams<br \/>La calle, calle de los sue\u00f1os<br \/>Love in a procession down the street of dreams<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<em>Break out<br \/>Break through<br \/>Break in<br \/>Your dream needs you<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<em>Your life?<br \/>(Gonna find you)<br \/>Your fear?<br \/>(Not gonna blind you)<br \/>Random angels?<br \/>(Gonna guide you)<br \/>To the street of dreams<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<em>La calle, calle de los sue\u00f1os<br \/>All the doors are open on the street of dreams<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<em>La calle, calle de los sue\u00f1os<br \/>Broken are the chosen on the street of dreams<br \/>Don\u2019t you give up on your dream for the many not just the few<br \/>Don\u2019t you give up and your dreams won\u2019t give up on you<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tLa calle, calle de los sue\u00f1os<br \/>Justice an obsession on the street of dreams<br \/>La calle, calle de los sue\u00f1os<br \/>Love in a procession down the street of dreams<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<em>God hear me shout<br \/>Lend your ear to my prayer<br \/>When I\u2019m far from anywhere<br \/>Down to my last breath of air<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source variety.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U2 is edging ever-so-closer to officially announcing the group\u2019s first full-length collection of new material in nine years.
