Iconic '80s rock band U2 has released the lead single for their upcoming album. The exciting news was shared on Tuesday via Instagram, surprising longtime fans.
The new single, titled "Street of Dreams" is the official lead single for the band's highly anticipated 15th studio album. The upcoming, currently untitled project marks the band's first all-new full-length work in nine years since the release of Songs of Experience in 2017.
Accompanying the single's release is a music video directed by Pasqual Gutiérrez and Raúl "RJ" Sanchez of the directing duo Cliqua. The four-minute and 39-second video was filmed inside and on top of a transit bus as it traveled around Mexico City. The video captures raw reactions from fans and U2's passionate performance—perfectly complementing the song's uplifting themes through a visual lens.

"Street of Dreams" arrives amid U2's 50th anniversary celebration. The group was formed in 1976 in Dublin, Ireland by 14-year-old drummer Larry Mullen Jr. who recruited the rest of the original lineup by posting a note on his high school's bulletin board.
Since their debut album in 1980, the band members have experienced massive commercial success, scoring two No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning 16 Platinum or Multi-Platinum certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
In the comments section of the announcement post, the fanbase expressed overwhelming enthusiasm for the new track.
