Ahead of their upcoming performance at Electric Picnic, Irish rock band The Coronas have announced the release of their brand-new single 'If You Let Me', which will be out on 7th September.

Produced by long-time collaborator George Murphy (Mumford & Sons, The Specials and Ellie Goulding) and mixed by Grammy Award-winning Peter Katis (The National), 'If You Let Me' is a joyous, catchy, indie-rock jaunt that shows The Coronas at their radio-friendly, foot-tapping best. The song follows the trio's single 'Strive' from earlier this year, which has been played extensively across Irish radio this summer and become a firm live favourite.

According to the press release, 'If You Let Me' is a declaration of support. It talks about those times when you realise that someone you care about is going through a rough time and how you cannot help but tell them how you feel, although they did not ask for it. The track is The Coronas' answer to The Jackson 5's 'I’ll Be There', in which the singer tells his former lover that he will always be there for them.
