Aerosmith have returned with their first new music in over a decade, teaming up with Yungblud on the collaborative EP One More Time.
Released today (21.11.25), the five-track project unites two generations of rock through brand-new material and a reimagined classic.
The collection features four original songs co-written by Aerosmith and Yungblud, with Steven Tyler and Yungblud sharing vocal duties throughout. Guitarist Joe Perry’s trademark sound anchors the release.
Alongside the new tracks, the EP includes a 2025 remix of Aerosmith classic Back in the Saddle, re-recorded with Yungblud.
One More Time is now available on digital platforms, with limited-edition vinyl, CD, and cassette formats also available for sale.
The EP comes after Yungblud faced backlash over his and Aerosmith’s tribute to Ozzy Osbourne at the MTV Video Music Awards.
The 28-year-old musician – whose real name is Dominic Harrison – took the stage with Extreme’s Nuno Bettencourt and Tyler and Perry at the VMAs in September to pay tribute to the late Black Sabbath icon, who died aged 76 in July.
The performance was met with some criticism, as The Darkness guitarist Dan Hawkins branded it “another nail in the coffin of rock n roll”.
His brother Justin added on his Justin Hawkins Rides Again YouTube channel: “Yungblud seems to have positioned himself as a natural heir to the Ozzy legacy, having nothing to do with the really important stuff.”
Yungblud and Ozzy’s son, Jack Osbourne, later responded on the latter’s Trying Not To Die podcast.
The I Think I’m Okay hitmaker said: “I think the strangest thing about that was all I was trying to do was my best for your old man, because he gave me such a gift.
“When people try and intellectualise a sense of spirit and six musicians on a stage going ‘f****** love you man’, it’s just bitter and jealous.
“They are doing the things they say we are doing – they’re trying to insert themselves into a conversation to obtain some kind of relevancy, on the back of us honouring one of the greatest rock stars that ever lived – and then they talk about authenticity and stuff like that.”
Jack himself insisted, “these people didn’t f****** know” how involved he was in Ozzy’s life.
He added: “They don’t know the fucking story of it, the things we know, and I was kind of like, ‘F*** you dude’.
“Dom meant something to my dad, my dad meant something to Dom. I texted you the night of the gig and I said, ‘F****** crush it.’ ”
Yungblud took aim at The Darkness and insisted anyone criticising the tribute was not “real rock stars”.
He said: “Anyone bigger than you or more emotionally evolved will never talk down on you.
“Your dad [Ozzy] would never do that, [Metallica‘s] James Hetfield would never do that, Kerry King would never do that. [They] don’t need to. They’re just like, ‘You know what? That’s sick.’
“People forget that rock is dictated by the people. The people are what make something rock and roll.
“And as far as I’m concerned, the people f****** loved it, and we got to put your dad’s face in front of another 100 million people that night and keep that legacy alive.”
