The Maine has released a new song called "Quiet Part Loud," a track off the band's upcoming album, Joy Next Door.

"Some songs take months or years to write, and some take hours," says frontman John O'Callaghan in a statement. "This one came together quickly out of necessity, because time is sometimes not on your side."

He adds, "With that notion in mind...say what you want while you still can."

You can watch the "Quiet Part Loud" video streaming now on YouTube.

Joy Next Door, the follow-up to The Maine's 2023 self-titled effort, is due out April 10. It also includes the single "Die to Fall."

The Maine will launch a U.S. tour in March.
