From the Stage to Your Speakers

Last week, Kings Of Leon treated fans to an exclusive live debut of "We’re Onto Something" in San Francisco on August 15th. Now, the studio version is out, courtesy of Love Tap Records, the band’s own imprint, with distribution by Virgin Records. This release follows hot on the heels of the recent collaboration between Kings Of Leon and Zach Bryan titled "Bowery," which also made its live debut at the same show.

The song feels like a soothing wave, mixing relaxed bluesy tones with a hint of atmospheric magic. Caleb Followill and Zach Bryan trade vocals over a rich tapestry of harmonica melodies, ambient guitars, and a laid-back rhythm section, creating an intoxicating backdrop that's both intimate and expansive.

Keeping It Loose and Vibey: Caleb Followill on the New Single

In a casual Instagram video, Caleb Followill opened up about the vibe behind the track, saying:

“I feel like this is just kind of like vibey, good times, not taking it too seriously. The way that the song is written, but also the way that we’re going about it.”

He further explained their approach to making music right now:

“We’re trying to be less meticulous about every little decision that we make, and just kind of trying to be loose with things, because that’s how it feels the best for us in our world when we’re making music.”

It's refreshing to see a band of Kings Of Leon’s stature embracing a freer, less rigid style, allowing the music to breathe and flow naturally.

A Comeback Story: Kings Of Leon’s Hiatus and Return

The band has had a rocky year, forced off the stage for much of 2025 after Caleb Followill suffered a serious freak accident while playing with his kids, shattering his heel and requiring emergency surgery in May. This incident led to the cancellation of their summer UK and European shows, much to the disappointment of fans.

Thankfully, Kings Of Leon made a triumphant return to live performances last month, much to the delight of their loyal audience.

They are set to headline the Come Together Festival in Newcastle on August 22 and Victorious Festival in Portsmouth on August 24, followed by appearances at Norway’s Unity Arena, the Paris Adidas Arena, and Ireland’s Electric Picnic Festival.

Celebrating ‘Can We Please Have Fun’

These live shows are in celebration of the band’s ninth studio album, Can We Please Have Fun, which dropped in May of last year. The album has been hailed as one of their most promising efforts in over a decade, praised for its liberated spirit and renewed swagger.

Zach Bryan’s Rising Star

Zach Bryan, who lends his voice to "We’re Onto Something," has been making waves himself. In June, he headlined the BST Hyde Park festival, sharing the stage with notable acts such as Dermot Kennedy, Mt. Joy, Gabrielle Aplin, and recent cover star Waylon Wyatt, among others. His collaboration with Kings Of Leon signals a thrilling fusion of talents, blending Bryan’s raw storytelling with Kings Of Leon’s seasoned rock sensibility.

It reminds us that sometimes, the magic happens when you loosen the reins and let the music take you where it will.
