New Radicals have unexpectedly released 'One Night Only (Break Loose Break Free!)', the first newly recorded song credited to the project since 1998. Gregg Alexander and Danielle Brisebois wrote and performed the track with guitarist Nick Lashley for the soundtrack to the romantic comedy 'One Night Only' in alternative pop.
The track reconnects with the band's identity through punchy piano, energetic pop-rock production, and conversational vocals. New Radicals released only one studio album, 1998's 'Maybe You’ve Been Brainwashed Too' featuring 'You Get What You Give', before dissolving in 1999. The surprise release marks an unexpected creative resurgence.
