WEDNESDAY, JULY 9 (NEW YORK, NY) - Today, multi-platinum, chart-topping band AJR announced their new EP, What No One's Thinking, out August 29 via their label, AJR Productions. Also today, the band released their brand new single,“Betty,” which they debuted on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night. To watch the performance, click HEREWhat No One’s Thinking – a thematic counterpart to their 2016 release What Everyone's Thinking – is an introspective, five-song project that dives into the quiet corners of everyday emotion. Produced and written by the band, the EP showcases the trio’s inventive production and introspective lyricism.

“Betty” weaves together lush instrumentation with layered vocal harmonies that build with cinematic intensity. Lyrically, the single delves into the emotional complexity of a fractured relationship, capturing both vulnerability and wry self-awareness. It’s a testament to the band’s evolving songwriting – clever, emotionally resonant, and unafraid to explore the gray areas of complicated relationships.

"'Betty' is a very personal song about grappling with the idea of ‘forever’ with someone you love,” the band shares. “It’s about all the pressure we feel at this age to settle down, and the confusion that comes with it.”

The music video for “Betty” was directed by the band and filmed in their attic. Known for their visual storytelling and inviting fans into the creative process, the band has been posting clips of the filmmaking on their social media. You can watch the music video HERE

About AJR

Re-envisioning what pop can be in the 21st century, AJR unassumingly emerged as a ubiquitous hit-making outlier and one of the biggest indie bands in the world. Since 2012, the multi-platinum indie pop trio—Adam [bass, vocals], Jack [vocals, guitar], and Ryan [ukulele, piano, vocals]—have generated billions of streams and earned three 5x-platinum singles, one triple-platinum single, three double-platinum singles, and one platinum album. 2019’s Neotheater marked their biggest first-week debut, bowing at #8 on the Billboard Top 200, #1 on the Top Alternative Albums Chart, and #1 on the Top Rock Albums Chart. Cemented as part of the modern zeitgeist, Spotify touted “Sober Up” [feat. Rivers Cuomo] among the “Best Rock Songs of the 2010s," while Apple Music included “Weak” on its “Best Alt Songs of the 2010s.” Not to mention, they remain one of the “500 Most-Listened to Artists” on Spotify. On the heels of  Neotheater, they dropped the 2020 5x-platinum blockbuster “BANG!”, which cracked the Top 10 at three radio formats, peaking at No. 6 on the Top 40 chart, No. 2 on Alternative radio and No. 1 on Adult Pop and marked their first Top 10 entry on the Billboard Hot 100. Their latest album, The Maybe Man [AJR Productions/Republic Records], was released in 2023. The title character is “a big sad superhero who is always questioning who he is” – like a giant out of your favorite fairy tale. Emotion hangs over his head, so it doesn’t have to hang over yours. Last summer, AJR embarked on The Maybe Man Tour, their first-ever arena headline tour, treating over 500,000 fans to a state-of-the-art production that included multiple larger-than-life 3D optical illusions. The band performed to over 40 sold-out shows across the country, including two nights at their hometown arena, Madison Square Garden.
