Our Feelings For The Script’s New Single Go ‘Both Ways’ For Sure

One of our absolute favorite bands of all time is The Script. These guys have been making music for almost two decades now and have been the soundtrack to some very important moments in our lives. Which is why we’re stoked to see them back with another single and an album announcement! ‘Both Ways’ came out on Friday and it’s already made its way into our playlists and our hearts.

The song seems to be a preview of what we can expect from The Script in the coming months: high energy, funky beats accompanied by lead singer Danny O’Donoghue’s powerful voice. And, of course, the promise that there is hope and light after dark times. And if you think we didn’t cry listening to “If you miss me like I miss you, then the feeling goes both ways” at the end of the chorus, then you’d be wrong.

‘Both Ways’ is the best way (hehe) to start off this new era of The Script and we cannot wait to see what comes next in their story. But we do have one clue: the band is set to release a new album, called Satellite, on August 16, which will include ‘Both Ways’ as the opener and 11 more tracks we cannot wait to hear. And if we had to guess, we’d say this is going to be quite the emotional ride, as Satellites is the first album the band will record and release after the passing of guitarist Mark Sheehan last year.

“The album cover is silhouettes of me, Glen, and Ben Sargeant, our bassist, who’s been with us from the beginning. Then we have a hooded silhouette, because the air of Mark is still there. He always will be, but it’s also giving a tip of the hat to the future. It’ll never be the same Script. We’re just trying to get on and do what it is that we all feel is the next right thing to do and that’s to keep making more great music.”

And if you think that’s all, think again, dear reader! Because not only are The Script giving us a full album soon, they’re also heading back to the stage on a North American tour along with P!nk between August and October of this year, with a few headline shows in between as well. You can check out the full list of dates on their website here.
