Bring Me The Horizon have released a stream of their brand new song Mother Tongue.
It’s the latest track taken from the Sheffield outfit’s upcoming album Amo, which will launch this coming Friday (January 25) via RCA.
Speaking about the single on Zane Lowe’s Apple Music’s Beats 1 show, BMTH frontman Oli Sykes calls it “the most gushing, out there, just straight up love song we've ever written.”
Sykes says: “We didn't really know what we wanted, but we just knew we wanted to be different and we wanted to still be Bring Me The Horizon, but make people feel the things they felt with us in different ways and try to do it sonically different.
“It took a while to find that sound because, for me, I love the fact I can sing now and I can write these lyrics that have important messages. They can almost stick in people's heads so that they're easier to get across.
“We still wanted those huge choruses, but I feel like we had so much experimentation in us that we've been dying to do for maybe the last five years or so.”
It's probably the most gushing, out there, straight up love song we've ever written.

Sykes adds: “The whole album explores loving and different aspects of that. Toxic relationships and the end of relationships, and it's also about the positive side of love. Obviously when you first fall in love, it's got to be the greatest feeling.
“It's probably the most gushing, out there, straight up love song we've ever written. This was one of the easier ones to write because it was positive.
Sykes says Mother Tongue is about when he first met his new wife and adds: "She's from Brazil and she didn't speak so much English. She talked a lot better than my Portuguese, but from the very start, we had a really strong connection and it was just a crazy time.
“This song's just talking about those experiences, which just stick in my head.”
Bring Me The Horizon will begin their live shows in support of the new album in Nashville later tonight and are also up for a Grammy in the Best Rock Song category for Mantra.
