"When I wrote ‘Another Life,’ I was thinking about all the lives we carry,” said vocalist Brittany Howard, in a statement.

“The ones we're living right now, the ones that slipped away because of different choices, the what ifs, the what wasn't meant to be, the goodbyes, and the chance encounters that feel divine. This song is about those threads and how they stretch across time and space, connecting every version of who we are."

"It’s about letting them come together, letting them harmonize, and realizing that goodbye isn’t really goodbye. It’s more like I’ll see you later. A collective story that never stops unfolding. I’m glad we opened this door into this reality of us making music together again," added Howard.

Alabama Shakes are currently on tour for the first time in 8 years, in the US and Canada.

The trio's last album, Sound and Colour reached number #1 on the US Billboard charts and was number #6 on the UK Album Charts.
