Steve Aoki and Taking Back Sunday have teamed up on an unexpected new joint single called ‘Just Us Two’ – check it out below along with the two acts telling NME about what they learnt from each other and their newfound brotherhood.The track marks Taking Back Sunday’s second release of the year, following frontman Adam Lazzara featuring on The Maine’s ‘Loved You A Little’ in January.
It’s Aoki’s fourth single of 2022, succeeding ‘Welcome To The Playhouse’, ‘Da Homies’ and ‘KULT’.“I was talking with our manager one day and she’s like ‘Hey, Steve Aoki’s camp reached out – would you like to write a song with him?’ My first reaction was, ‘Wait, do they know who they’re reaching out to?
Did they get the wrong guys?’” explained Lazzara. Once they’d ascertained they were the intended recipients of the message, though, the band were “so excited from the get go”. “We exist in this rock and roll world so the idea of having the opportunity to not only branch out of that but also just having someone with a different perspective to work with was really exciting for us.”Asked why he wanted to approach Taking Back Sunday about a collaboration in the first place, Aoki replied: “Because I fucking love these guys and they’re awesome.
You wanna do something that’s disruptive and different and I’d never heard them working with a DJ, so I’m like, ‘Oh, that would be really cool’.
