Scouting For Girls – kick off 2026 with the release of their new single ‘Don’t You Go Solo’

The chart-topping, multi-Platinum selling Scouting For Girls kick off 2026 with the release of their new single ‘Don’t You Go Solo’ as they stride towards the release their new album ‘These Are The Good Days’ on March 27^th 2026. 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 this year’s headline tour already being sold-out.
 
A record themed around high spirits and a determination to live your best life – the fun tropicalia of new single ‘Don’t You Go Solo’ is evidence of Stride’s new life in Hollywood. Vocalist/pianist Roy Stride explains of the string laden sixties influenced pop song, “it’s a bit an outlier on the record. But one of the reasons I’m out here in LA is to work on films. I’ve got a song in an animated film that’s coming out next year – a Disney-esque musical called Spiked, about a hedgehog. And this song was written around the same time that I was working on this film. I just wanted to create a fun, almost musical number, but with big cinematic strings and a ’60s sound.”

This is a record that offers an uplifting antidote at a time of an avalanche of downbeat news. 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. ‘Get What You Give’ an instant standout that can take its place amongst their many hits through to the playful, exuberant excess of the multi-layered orchestral closer ‘Alright In The End’. And that positivity still flourishes on other highlights too, such as the classic timeless ballad ‘Stars Never Fade’.
