“Lovin’ Life” Single Art
Today, the legendary rock group Barenaked Ladies return with their newest single + video “Lovin’ Life.” An ode to the joy of living and finding happiness in the present moment, the track is the first new music from the band since 2021, with the fun-loving rockers sharing their infectious optimism – celebrating the unpredictability of life.
Recorded at Noble Street Studios in Toronto, “Lovin’ Life” was produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Eric Ratz and was written by Ed Robertston, Kevin Griffin (Better Than Ezra), and Steve Aiello (Thirty Seconds to Mars). With the fleeting nature of time, Barenaked Ladies remind us of the importance of staying positive and making the most of the present – enjoying the rollercoaster and cherishing all of life’s moments. BNL frontman Ed Robertson says, “I find myself in a reflective place. Feeling real gratitude and contentment. This was a fun song to write, and it’s been amazing to see the crowds reacting to it. We’re Lovin’ Life!”
In true BNL fashion, the captivating track is an instant earworm, paired with a colorful video (directed by Edward Pond) of exclusive footage from the recording studio and their current Last Summer on Earth 2023 American Tour, where the band has been performing “Lovin’ Life” every night live.
The Toronto-based eight-time JUNO winners and two-time Grammy nominees Barenaked Ladies are currently on their 7th almost-annual, expansive summer tour. Continuing the trend that they began a little more than a decade ago, the band is playing three dozen shows in major venues all over the United States through July with two direct support acts: American bands Semisonic (June 2-June 26) and Five for Fighting (June 28-July 22), as well as Scottish rockers Del Amitri, who are opening all shows. Barenaked Ladies launched their Last Summer on Earth tours in 2012, the year the ancient Mayan calendar had predicted Earth would cease to be. Naturally, BNL seized the opportunity to have a little fun with the idea, so much so that they’ve repeated the tour seven of the last 12 summers.
