Kings of Leon to headline BST Hyde Park 2024: How to buy tickets

The song serves as the band's first new material since their 2021 album When You See Yourself, which included the singles The Bandit and 100,000 people.

Along with Mustang comes the news of the band's ninth studio album, Can We Please Have Fun, which is produced by Kid Harpoon and is set for release on 10th May via Polydor Records.

The title is a result of the band coming together, "cutting loose," trying new things and, indeed, having fun.

It was the most enjoyable record I’ve ever been a part of,” frontman Caleb says.

“It’s like we allowed ourselves to be musically vulnerable,” drummer Nathan adds. “I love it when a rock band is not embarrassed to admit that every song doesn’t have to be on 11.”
