The All-American Rejects have dropped off their new song, “Eggshell Tap-Dancer,” the third single off their upcoming album. The indie rock sweetheart playful new track follows the singles “Search Party” and “Easy Come, Easy Go,” which all dropped earlier this year.
“‘Eggshell Tap-Dancer’ is about performing tenderness until your feet bleed,” lead singer Tyson Ritter explained in a statement. “The character in the song is tiptoeing around someone who probably stopped listening three exits ago, but he’s still there — pulling rabbits out of hats, making balloon animals out of his own arteries. In the end, I think it’s a love song written for someone who’s just detached from the world and madly in love with obsession.”
The All-American Rejects are set to return with its as-yet-untitled new album in February. The set will be the band’s first since 2012’s Kids In the Street. The rock group is currently in the midst of a massive arena tour with the Jonas Brothers, while “Easy Come, Easy Go” previously drove the band’s viral House Party Tour. The trek, in which the band performed at house parties across the country, became a viral phenomenon. Not to mention Ritter, joined OnlyFans in June to continue the band’s “disruptive” behavior.
“I don’t think anybody would have expected the All-American Rejects to make a ripple in the water ever again,” Ritter told GQ at the time. “So the excitement behind this whole thing is like, ‘Where else can we be disruptive?’”
