Song is second taste of band’s first new album in over a decade
Multi-Platinum, superstar hit making pop-rockers Matchbox Twenty have released “Don’t Get Me Wrong,” a second track from their highly anticipated fifth studio album Where The Light Goes, arriving May 26th via Atlantic Records. Produced by Gregg Wattenberg with Paul Doucette and Kyle Cook, the album finds the band surging with energy for another great batch of real, relevant, and relatable songs.
“A lot of times, when people have been together for years, you can have arguments that get really heated and keep you on edge,” frontman Rob Thomas shares. “It’s only natural for someone to sometimes think it may be the end. This song was just someone saying, ‘I know I get mad sometimes, but I’m not going anywhere’.”
“Don’t Get Me Wrong” follows the album’s energetic lead “Wild Dogs (Running in a Slow Dream),” which marked the band’s first new music release in over a decade. Already boasting over three million global streams, the single features a vibrant music video directed by Jay Sprogell, was just performed live the first time on The Kelly Clarkson Show, and got stripped back for a stunning acoustic rendition.
The band featuring Thomas, Brian Yale, Paul Doucette, and Kyle Cook will be hitting the road this month for their 50+ date spring/summer Slow Dream Tour. Produced by Live Nation, the trek will begin on Tuesday, May 16th at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, BC and conclude on Sunday, August 6th at Chicago’s Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre. The outing is the band’s first since 2017’s A Brief History of Everything Tour which marked the 20th anniversary of their Diamond-certified debut album Yourself or Someone Like You. The Slow Dream Tour will feature support from Platinum-selling singer-songwriter Matt Nathanson for the first half of the tour and chart-topping singer-songwriter/producer Ben Rector on the second half.
