Muse have returned with a new single, ‘Be With You’, from their forthcoming 10th album ‘The WOW! Signal’. Listen and find all the details below.
The trio began teasing the track earlier this month, marking their first material since 2025’s ‘Unravelling’.
Both songs will appear on the follow-up to 2022’s ‘Will Of The People’, which is set for release on June 26 via Warner. Pre-order/pre-save here.
Muse have previewed ‘The WOW! Signal’ with epic lead single ‘Be With You’. It begins with a humming church organ before introducing elements of driving electronica, eventually erupting with a dose of blistering guitar rock.
“It seems my light’s been swallowed up, I’ve used up every ounce of luck/ I need to leap into the fire/ Find a higher power, and reach for something new,” sings frontman Matt Bellamy.
“I feel my life has just begun, it can’t just be with anyone/ It’s got to be with you.”
‘Be With You’ is accompanied by a cinematic official music video starring Ella Balinska (Resident Evil, The Occupant), directed by Nico Paolillo (Deafheaven, Bad Omens). Tune in here:
Per a press release, ‘The WOW! Signal’ takes its title from one of the most compelling interstellar mysteries of the last century – “a powerful 72-second radio burst detected in 1977 originating from the constellation Sagittarius with a bandwidth and intensity that suggested a possible extraterrestrial source”.
“The astronomer who discovered the anomaly famously circled the now-iconic sequence ‘6EQUJ5’ and wrote ‘WOW!’ on the printout beside it – giving the signal its name and cementing its place in scientific and pop-culture lore,” it adds.
The record is said to explore “a mix of cosmic mystery, existential hope, and the exhilarating possibility of contact with something far greater than ourselves”.
The full tracklist for Muse’s ‘The WOW! Signal’ is:
- ‘The Dark Forest’
- ‘Nightshift Superstar’
- ‘Shimmering Scars’
- ‘Cryogen’
- ‘Be With You’
- ‘Hexagons’
- ‘The Sickness In You & I’
- ‘Unravelling’
- ‘Hush’
- ‘Space Debris’
In early 2025, bassist Chris Wolstenholme talked about the future of Muse, and suggested that they were thinking about a new album. “I think we’re gonna start work on the next record fairly soon,” he said, explaining that the group weren’t signed to a label at the time.
“I think for the last few albums we’ve been with Warner and we’ve extended after each album,” the musician continued. “We may do the same again; we may go with a new label, who knows.”
Wolstenholme revealed that they would be starting work “very, very soon, like in the next couple of months”. He added: “I would imagine that 2026 will be a new album, barring any disasters.”
Muse embarked on a European tour last year, including a headline set at Madrid’s Mad Cool Festival, where the band stepped in for Kings Of Leon.
NME described the show as an “era-spanning, revolutionary space-tacular” with “Matt Bellamy and co easing into their new cycle with riffs and revolution”.
