A surprise cross-generational handshake just landed: rock titans Aerosmith and British firebrand YUNGBLUD have officially announced a joint EP titled One More Time, led by a new single called “My Only Angel.” The five-track effort is slated for release November 21, 2025, with the lead single arriving first on September 19, 2025.
How it happened
The collaboration grew out of a recent on-stage moment: Tyler, Perry and YUNGBLUD performed together at the 2025 MTV VMAs (a tribute set that reunited multiple rock figures), and what started as a live chemistry moment quickly turned into a studio project. Both acts teased a “secret” after that appearance and then revealed the EP days later on social media.
What’s on the EP
The project — being billed as Aerosmith’s first new music in more than a decade — contains five tracks. Reported tracklist highlights include:
- My Only Angel (lead single)
- Problems
- Wild Woman
- A Thousand Days
- Back In The Saddle (2025 Mix)
Writing and performance credits reportedly include Steven Tyler and YUNGBLUD on vocals, with Joe Perry and producer Matt Schwartz contributing to writing/production duties.
Why it matters
The collaboration pairs Aerosmith’s legacy stadium-rock sound with YUNGBLUD’s punk-infused, youth-driven energy — a deliberate bridge between classic rock audiences and younger alternative fans.
For Aerosmith, One More Time is being presented as the band’s first batch of new material in roughly 13 years, making the EP a noteworthy return to recording even as the band’s touring future has been complicated by Steven Tyler’s vocal issues and prior retirement announcements.
Early reaction & context
Industry outlets and fans reacted quickly: music press ran feature stories the same day the announcement went live, and social feeds filled with excitement, flashbacks, and curiosity about how the two sounds would merge. Many coverage pieces point out that the collaboration follows a recent string of tribute performances and veteran-young artist pairings in live award-show settings this year.
