Scouting For Girls – have announced the release their new album ‘These Are The Good Days’ + release title track

The chart-topping, multi-Platinum selling Scouting For Girls will release their new album ‘These Are The Good Days’ on March 27th 2026 – a record which they today preview by sharing its title track and lead single. It will be the follow-up to 2023’s ‘The Place We Used To Meet’ which became their highest-charting record in eight years. The trio behind mega-hits ‘This Ain’t A Love Song’ (#1), ‘She’s So Lovely’ (#7), ‘Elvis Ain’t Dead’ (#8) and ‘Heartbeat’ (#10) still command a huge, loyal following as evidenced by the majority of next year’s headline tour already being sold-out.
 
First single, ‘These Are The Good Days’ is a joyous expression of appreciating everything that’s special in the here-and-now. With a luminous piano melody, sun kissed guitars and (for the first time in SFG history) some soulful gospel vocal harmonies, it feels like a modern take on classic Californian pop-rock – viewed, as ever, by Scouting For Girls’ distinctly British perspective.
 
Vocalist/pianist Roy Stride says, “My family moved to Los Angeles last year so I could focus on songwriting after getting the opportunity to write music for an animation project. It’s always been a dream of mine to make music out here — but that dream almost became a nightmare when, just a few months later, we suddenly found ourselves in the middle of California’s wildfire season and were evacuated out to Palm Springs, fully expecting to lose everything we owned. That week ended up inspiring both the song and the album artwork. I wanted to turn that experience into something positive — to write the most uplifting song I could. I’m an incredibly nostalgic person, and I realised that, in a strange way, I’d probably look back on that time as a golden period in my life — when we were all together as a family.”

‘These Are the Good Days’
