The All-American Rejects Releases New Song “Easy Come, Easy Go”
American rock band The All-American Rejects, consisting of Tyson Ritter (vocals/bass), Nick Wheeler (lead guitar), Mike Kennerty (rhythm guitar) and Chris Gaylor (drums), released a new song “Easy Come, Easy Go” on June 5, 2025.
The song is the follow up to “Sandbox”, which was released back in April.
Both songs will appear on their upcoming fifth studio album, which is set to be released in January 2026.
The song accompanied by the Justin Le Burgos-directed animated music video.
It was written by Kenneth Chesak and Tyson Ritter. Produced by Tyson Ritter, Nick Wheeler, and Kenneth Chesak.
The band lead singer Tyson Ritter said of the song, “This new record from the Rejects is something close to the bone for me lyrically, so why not bear it all. Get a taste of full frontal rock 'n' roll.”
Director Justin Le Burgos said of the video, “What an absolute honor & thrill it was to have the opportunity to create an official music video for the lovely humans of The All-American Rejects ! It's been a huge pleasure working with Tyson Ritterr & the AAR team to make this vision come to life. I think we captured the ultimate millennial / Gen X nostalgia trip to deliver to your eyes & hearts. Huge fan of the art that these people create & I'm pinching myself that I get to be a small slice of the pie. Rock on & enjoy yourselves.”- Tyson Ritter said of making of the song, “I wrote the song with a guy named Scott, who was our former touring keyboardist three years ago. And it sat there. We wrote half the song. It was just a no, dude. It was just the chorus. We just wrote the chorus. And then my son was born. I mean, after that revelatory experience, I remember one night, I was sitting on my bar. And the whole fucking song came to me, and I was like, chasing it. There's this poet who says something about she would write poems while she was hanging her laundry because she could see it at the edge of the field coming. And sometimes she couldn't get back inside fast enough. And she would run all the way to the back of her house to grab a pen. And she said she would grab it by the tail and pull it back in. And it would even sometimes write itself backwards. Just love that, because that was like, a true moment for me, like, wow. These words are really like, a tongue in cheek, sort of like all the hits that we have or whatever. It's kind of cheeky. But this song what's that fucking lyric in the second verse. 'And if I found you at the river below / Beneath the cliffs edge out in the shallows / The water so blue, it was red as a rose / My pot of gold, you were the rainbow / I'll be the violet.'”
