Gym Class Heroes are well and truly back, and have shared their first new music in 15 years, picking up right where they left off.

Titled ‘Universal Language’, it’s a street-wise love song, full of RnB smoothness, alt exploration and plenty of heart, character and drive. The sort of song that feels familiar to what made the band such a sensation at the turn of the Millenium, but presented in a manner that is in line with what music looks and feels like now, it bridges the gap between then and now beautifully. And more than anything, it is effortlessly fun.

Travie McCoy had this to say about what the song represents for him, a sentiment that has come from a life of travel, creativity and openness to growth:

“I’ve been traveling this planet for more than half of my life, and I speak two languages, one I’m fluent in and one I was born with. I’ve been in a long term relationship with someone who didn’t speak much English, and sad to say, she’s the one that got away. But I think this song is letting people know that LOVE is and ALWAYS will be the UNIVERSAL language. It’s the ultimate final boss for AI. I feel that’s something that could never be coded or built into a motherboard – the look from one human to another that says, I GET IT.”
