The All-American Rejects have returned with a new single, ‘Eggshell Tap Dancer.’ Building on the indie-leaning sound they explored with Search Party, the track fuses that experimental edge with the band’s unmistakable pop-rock punch.

Frontman Tyson Ritter describes the song as “about performing tenderness until your feet bleed.” He adds, “The character in the song is tiptoeing around someone who probably stopped listening three exits ago, but he’s still there — pulling rabbits out of hats, making balloon animals out of his own arteries. In the end, I think it’s a love song written for someone who’s just detached from the world and madly in love with obsession.”

Currently on an arena tour with the Jonas Brothers, the Rejects are arguably in the midst of the biggest year of their career. After teasing new music since spring, they’ve experienced a full-on resurgence while connecting with a new generation of fans. Their breakout single ‘Easy Come, Easy Go’ powered the viral House Party Tour, a run that became a bona fide cultural moment, covered by Nightline, CNN, FADER, Kerrang!, New York Magazine, NPR, and more.

The song alone has racked up hundreds of millions of views, helping push their catalog past a billion plays on TikTokand reaffirming their status as one of the defining bands of the 2000s. This banner year also includes a Jimmy Kimmel Live! performance of “Easy Come, Easy Go,” a partnership with Indy 500 driver Conor Daly for the Music City Grand Prix (complete with a Rejects-wrapped car), and a full slate of stadium dates alongside the Jonas Brothers.
