Bloc Party have returned with a new song, “Flirting Again.” The release precedes a pair of major shows for the group, one at Glastonbury this weekend and another, on July 7, at London’s Crystal Palace Park, billed as their biggest show to date. Listen to it below.

The single, said Kele Okereke, is “about being thrust back into the scene and trying to remember how it all works.” He continued, It’s about trying to appear desirable, whilst at the same time hiding the hurt that defines you. We are all carrying around the various scars that we have accumulated over the years, the heartbreaks that have come to shape how we give love and receive love. This song is about picking yourself up and carrying on.”

Bloc Party’s last album was 2022’s Alpha Games.
