Platinum-selling All Time Low have released a brand new single entitled ‘PMA’ (featuring Pale Waves). The track is available today on all streaming platforms, while an accompanying lyric video for the song is streaming on All Time Low’s YouTube channel HERE.
Upholding what has become an undeniable creative partnership in the studio, All Time Low worked with longtime collaborator and producer Zakk Cervini (Blink-182, MGK, Halsey) on the track. ‘PMA’ hinges on effervescent electric hooks as All Time Low’s Alex Gaskarth and Pale Waves’ Heather Baron-Gracie trade-off melodies as they work through their anxiety.
Gaskarth elaborated on the collaboration, “PMA is a journey into isolation and overstimulation. It’s about the little mundane things we do to keep ourselves distracted when loneliness becomes a constant and leaves us feeling apathetic. It’s existential dread wrapped in nervous laughter kissed by the SoCal sun. Heather and Palewaves joining us on this one quite literally brings the hopeful shine to the lyrics, the promise of safety in the shared experience, the understanding we’re all living it together.”
Baron-Gracie added, “I was really happy that Alex asked me to be on the track as I’ve always been a big fan of All Time Low and I loved the song when he sent it over. I really related to the themes, especially the exhausting worry that you’re never doing / being enough in life.”
‘PMA’ arrives on the heels of the band’s latest single “Once In A Lifetime.’, a song that has already surpassed 20 million streams and counting. NME hailed it as “reflective” and “hopeful,” and KERRANG! dubbed it “dark but typically anthemic and infectious.” Produced by Cervini and Andrew Goldstein [Maroon 5, Katy Perry, blackbear], American Songwriter attested, “the new cut crashes the senses in bursts of colour and sound,”All Time Low currently hold two spots in the Top 10 at US Alternative Radio, with ‘Once In A Lifetime’ and their smash hit ‘Monsters’ (feat. blackbear).

For their 2020 Wake Up, Sunshinealbum(which peaked on the UK Official Album Chart at #3), the group went back to the basics (and the basement). Throughout 2019, the four musicians—Alex Gaskarth [vocals, guitar], Jack Barakat [guitar, vocals], Zack Merrick [bass, vocals], and Rian Dawson [drums]—congregated together in Nashville at Rian’s studio and at a Palm Springs rental house. Face-to-face, they wrote and recorded the 15-song affair joined by co-writer, producer, and collaborator Zakk Cervini.Throughout a back catalogue streamed half-a-billion times, All Time Low have continually raised the bar. Since the release of their third album, ‘Dirty Work’ in 2011, the group have had five straight Top 20 entries on the UK Official Album Charts, with 2015’s ‘Future Hearts’ debuting as a #1 album. 2009’s ‘Nothing Personal’, 2012’s ‘Don’t Panic’ and ‘Future Hearts’ are all UK Certified albums – gold, silver and silver respectively, in addition to their two gold albums, three gold singles and two platinum single accolades at home in the US.After nearly two decades together, All Time Low have rekindled the spark they first ignited in a Baltimore basement with Wake Up Sunshine. These four lifelong friends walked into a tiny room, plugged in, and turned up with the same spirit, but with more experience, and proficiency gained from performing to millions worldwide. As a result, they‘ve delivered WAKE UP, SUNSHINE, a captivating body of work at the apex of their prowess. |
