Jeff Rosenstock is back. The eccentric musician is making a grand return with the new song “Liked U Better,” as well as an announcement of tour dates for this fall. It’s his first new single since 2020’s No Dream.
“I feel like I’ve been talking in my songs for the last few records about these systemic issues that just keep getting worse and worse,” the Laura Stevenson collaborator told Uproxx about that album. “It’s frustrating that that kind of sh*t is still relatable.”
“Liked U Better” finds Rosenstock turning to more personal lyricism: “I liked you better when you weren’t on my mind,” he sings as the effortlessly catchy hook.
