BURBANK, California – August 15, 2024 – Mickey Mouse and his friends are thrilled to announce New Found Glory’s “Part of Your World” as the next single and video from the highly anticipated album, A Whole New Sound. Additionally, they have unveiled the full tracklist for the collection, set for release on September 6, as well as the kick-off for vinyl pre-orders that are set to release on October 4. A Whole New Sound features iconic Disney songs reimagined by pop-punk pioneers, alternative rock hitmakers, and pop sensations. Starting tonight, August 15, at 9 p.m. PT / midnight ET, music fans can pre-add the album on Apple Music HERE and pre-save the album on Spotify HERE.
New Found Glory, the multi-platinum pop-punk veterans, take the plunge into the sea with their electrifying rendition of “Part of Your World,” originally from Disney’s The Little Mermaid (1989). This energetic cover injects a fresh dose of punk rock spirit into Ariel’s classic yearning for adventure. Beginning tonight at 9 p.m. PT / midnight ET, “Part of Your World” by New Found Glory will be available on all streaming platforms (including Spotify, Apple Music, and more) and the video will be viewable HERE.
“In approaching this song, I sat with the lyrics and melodies for a while. I realized that to make people feel what Ariel’s feeling, we needed to match the energy of the music with the rebellious thoughts of the song, along with her hope for adventure. When she sings about wanting to dance, the music is upbeat and fun, but when she expresses her longing for freedom, the rhythm drops so you really feel the pull of the heart,” New Found Glory guitarist Chad Gilbert said. “Our band’s biggest goal has always been to show and encourage young adults, the young at heart, and any person that has a dream but faces self-doubt that there is another world out there that will accept them for exactly who they are. To not be afraid to take the next step.”

About New Found Glory
As New Found Glory can attest, life moves quickly. Just three years after forming in Coral Springs, Florida, in 1997, the group were fast-tracked from local upstarts to mainstream stars on the back of ebullient pop melodies and hardcore-tinged breakdowns, setting off a blast of pop-punk dynamite that still lights the torch for modern acts more than two decades later. They became the voice of an underground movement, spurring iconic gold and platinum records (2000’s New Found Glory, 2002’s Sticks & Stones, and 2004’s Catalyst), countless MTV appearances, an entire subgenre (easycore) and sold-out tours the world over. New Found Glory has always been about the same thing – honesty, community, and positivity. After 25+ years of being a band, 11 studio albums, one live album, one Christmas album, two acoustic albums, two EPs, and four cover albums, New Found Glory’s ethos has never wavered; they always strive to be the friend you always need and always understands you.
