New Radicals Quietly Release First New Song In 28 Years
New Radicals have released “One Night Only (Break Loose Break Free!)”, their first newly recorded song credited to the band since their 1998 debut album. The release marks a rare return for Gregg Alexander and Danielle Brisebois, whose band had effectively ended after one album but retained a lasting pop-cultural profile through “You Get What You Give” and Alexander’s later songwriting work.
The song was co-written and performed by Alexander, Brisebois and Nick Lashley, and serves as the theme for the forthcoming romantic comedy One Night Only, starring Monica Barbaro and Callum Turner. New Radicals briefly reunited in 2021 for Joe Biden’s virtual inauguration parade, while Alexander has recently issued his own versions of songs he co-wrote, including “Murder On The Dancefloor” and “The Game Of Love”; the film soundtrack also features King Princess and Este Haim.
In short
- New Radicals release their first new credited song in 28 years.

- Gregg Alexander and Danielle Brisebois reunite for the release.
Explained simply
New Radicals are an American pop-rock band formed around singer and songwriter Gregg Alexander and singer Danielle Brisebois. They became widely known through their 1998 album Maybe You’ve Been Brainwashed Too, especially the song “You Get What You Give”.
The band stopped working together after that album, while Alexander went on to write songs for other performers.

Their music has remained familiar to many listeners, and the new song is connected to the forthcoming romantic comedy One Night Only.
