The album includes “The Way We Used To Be,” the band’s first new track with revamped lineup that includes Schon, Jonathan Cain, Arnel Pineda, former bassist and American Idol judge Randy Jackson, Jason Derlatka, and Narada Michael Walden. The song was produced by Walden with co-production by Schon and Jonathan Cain.

The band is slated to launch Freedom Tour 2022 with Toto. The diamond-selling Rock & Roll Hall of Famers will take the stage in 40 cities across North America with their catalog of global chart-topping hits. The trek was slated to include Billy Idol, but has Toto performing at all dates as Idol recovers from an ailment.
The tour follows Journey’s December six-show Las Vegas residency at the Theater at Virgin Hotels.
