New Radicals Release First New Song in 28 Years for ‘One Night Only’ Rom-Com
The New Radicals have returned with their first original composition in nearly three decades, contributing a track to the soundtrack of the romantic comedy "One Night Only," arriving on August 7. The song marks a significant moment for the group, which disbanded after 1998 but reformed briefly in 2021 to perform at a presidential event. Lead member Gregg Alexander maintained an active career throughout the interim period, collaborating on numerous successful compositions for other artists before the band's comeback.
The group's new material comes as part of a recent resurgence that saw them re-record several of Alexander's most successful songwriting credits under the New Radicals name in 2024. Since their reformation, the band has maintained a selective presence, appearing at occasional high-profile events. This latest release represents their first entirely new composition under their original identity since their 1998 debut album, making it a noteworthy moment for fans of 1990s alternative music.
