“My Only Angel” is the first of five ahead
Aerosmith and British multi-platinum, award-winning rockstar Yungblud have shared “My Only Angel,” the first of five to come. Opening with Steven Tyler’s towering vocals a cappella as he asks, “Will you cry, if I called you my angel? Would you leave me one more time?” the track awash in delay, loose guitar echoes over a steady 16th note beat, a rumbling bassline, and strains of soft piano. Yungblud and Tyler lean into the refrain’s hypnotic harmony until a signature Perry fret-burning solo takes hold, underscoring the chemistry between two generations of rock.
The song is the lead track from their upcoming joint One More Time EP, due on November 21st via Capitol Records. One More Time marks Aerosmith’s first new music in over 12 years. Produced by Matt Schwartz, the set features four original tracks co-written by Aerosmith and Yungblud (with both frontmen sharing the vocals), as well as a fiery 2025 mix of the classic “Back In The Saddle.”
The One More Time EP artwork was designed exclusively by Chrome Hearts’ Joe Foti, a first for the luxury brand.
“The decision to meet Yungblud and make this music with him…was like plugging into pure electricity!” says Tyler. ‘For Joe and me it was another cosmic collision… to find ourselves in the studio with this outrageously talented and positively wild animal named Dom. Here’s this kid that lives his life out loud…grew up on our records and the British invasion… and now we’re in the studio together creating something that bridges generations. He devoured all the same greats looked up to…and then he started to dream on. It’s as simple as that.” Tyler declares. “When we sang and played together for the first time there was an immediate unspoken vibration throughout the studio… it reminded me of the wheels of the car vibrating my seat as the boys and I drove into Boston 50 years ago for the very first time. It had that same deep intimate pressure of necessity. To make it… make it great… something fresh and new…and make it last forever. That’s the rock n roll way baby! Yungblud wants this next chapter in rock history and asked us to be a part of it. We got on so well… the vibe in the room was epic from the start… we had a blast… and were truly honored to write with him! Rock and roll becomes timeless when you pour your heart and soul into it… that’s when the magic happens.”
Of the collaboration, Joe Perry shares, “A year ago, I got a call that Yungblud wanted to come to Sarasota to work with me and write some songs. I had heard his single and said, hell yeah, this guy’s got the juice. Four days in the studio and we got to know each other along with his team. I called Steven and told him, you have to hear this guy Yungblud — he’s the real deal. Fast forward to May and we’re in the studio with Steven recording new music. The end result turned out to be an amazing collaboration between Aerosmith and Yungblud. Let the music do the talking.”
Yungblud adds, “Aerosmith have been such a staple of rock and roll and showmanship for me, so I’ve been ready for this my whole life. As soon as we entered the studio, the chemistry exploded and the songs just poured out of us. It’s the kind of collaboration that young me wouldn’t even dream of so to sit here holding a vinyl in my hand that says Aerosmith and YUNGBLUD on it is truly blowing my mind. Steven and Joe are at the top of their game and working with them is a huge fucking honor. I’m making records with my hero’s, the shows insane every night and rock ‘n’ roll is waking the fuck up whether you like it or not. I’m loving every second.”
Yungblud (real name Dominic Harrison) first met the legendary band when they paired up in the studio with the intention of featuring on a version of the nine-minute epic, “Hello Heaven, Hello.” Chemistry started to flow, and what began as a guest spot soon turned into a writing session, eventually evolving into a five-track EP. Beyond the lead single, the collection showcases Yungblud’s raw spirit colliding with the band’s legendary musicianship: Perry and Whitford’s guitars cut through with signature fire, Hamilton’s bass anchors the arrangements, and Tyler’s unmistakable voice intertwines with Yungblud’s across every track. Longtime friend Matt Sorum, former drummer of Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver, lends his presence behind the kit across the EP. The announcement of One More Time and the release of “My Only Angel” follow Aerosmith and Yungblud’s powerful performance at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards earlier this month.
