One More Time (Aerosmith and Yungblud EP)

Last updated

It's certainly nothing we had planned. We really didn't. It was pretty traumatic, what happened; we've had to cancel gigs before, but this was a big one. This was arguably the biggest tour we had ever mounted, and to have it collapse like that... was heartbreaking. It was almost more than we could get over. After the dust settled and we realized touring wasn't gonna be part of our repertoire, it's also a time where [we realized] there's so many other ways to be creative in this entertainment business.

—Joe Perry on the cancellation of the band's farewell tour and collaborating with Yungblud.

Shortly after the cancellation of Aerosmith's farewell tour, the band decided to collaborate with English musician Yungblud, a collaboration that Joe Perry called "amazing". [3]

Composition and lyrics

"My Only Angel" is a rock [4] track with lyrics focusing on loss of a loved one. [5] "Problems" takes its riff from Boston's hit "More Than a Feeling". [6] Both "Wild Woman" and "A Thousand Days" are country ballads. [6] The EP's final track is a remix of Aerosmith's "Back in the Saddle". [7]

Aerosmith and Yungblud both teased the EP on September 12, 2025, via a post to both of their social media accounts of a video of Tyler telling Yungblud "We got a secret, and nobody knows it". [9] One More Time marks Aerosmith's first release of new music since their 2012 album Music from Another Dimension! , which was released on November 6, 2012. [10]

Writing for British magazine Kerrang! , Rishi Shah wrote there was "nothing overtly surprising about this EP", noting it "serves its purpose, realising this incredible collaboration without dragging it out towards an album of overindulgence", concluding by noting that the EP "feels limited edition, adding another stamp of approval from Boston's finest that rock's present and future belongs to Yungblud." [7]

Promotion

The album's only single "My Only Angel" released on September 15, 2025, appeared on multiple charts, primarily US charts, specifically peaking atop Billboard's Hot Hard Rock Songs chart, a first for the band. [11]
