The Lathums have just shared an exciting new single.

Heartbreaker is the next song to come from the band's third studio album, Matter Does Not Define, which is set for release on 7th March 2025.

Watch the lyric video for the track, which is described as a "a no-holds-barred, glam firecracker," below:

The Lathums - Heartbreaker | Lyric Video

“I wanted to break away from my usual style, which tends to be more introspective and fictional,” explains frontman Alex Moore of the single. “Lately, people seem to have really been embracing their true selves more, with a sense of pride and confidence. So, I wanted to create a feel-good song that captures that energy, something empowering that people can sing along to and feel unstoppable. Like they’re owning who they are.”

Heartbreaker follows previously released singles No Direction, Stellar Cast and the heartbreakingly vulnerable Long Shadows, preparing fans for whats shaping up to be an eclectic and inspiring new album.

Released on multiple formats, including standard and special edition vinyl, CD, cassette and digital, Matter Does Not Define - which is available to pre-order now - was made at Liverpool’s Kempston Street Studios with long-time studio and stage collaborator, Chris Taylor and valued musical mentor, John Kettle.

Previously speaking to Radio X's Dan O'Connell about the meaning of the album, which is available to pre-order and pre-save now, Moore explained: "It can mean a plethora of things. The big thing for me is, especially in this day and age that we live in.... it's hard to find a bit of solace in things. A bit of normality and comfort.

"I think people are very divided and I know there have been for as long as man's been around. There's always been division, but I think it would be nice for some kinda just thinking outside of your own headspace and just... I like thinking that there's more good than bad and people just need to come together a little bit more now."

He went on: "It's already a really dark place out there anyway, so we don't need to make it worse. I think I'd like people to engage a little bit.

"And the beauty about humans is we have these voices. We have these ways of communicating with people and it's the thing that separates us from being mere beats. And we don't use it enough I don't think, so I wanted to make a a bit of a point of that."
