Bloc Party are back with a new single, “Flirting Again.”

The new track arrives ahead of the band’s performance at Glastonbury this upcoming weekend, as well as the band’s major show at London’s Crystal Palace Park on July 7th, which will serve as Bloc Party’s largest headlining show to-date.

With a thumping, frequently escalating groove, “Flirting Again” is a dance-punk ode to finding love and getting some flirting on. However, even in the band’s bright hues, some genuine darkness reveals itself: “Sent a text to my ex on Valentine’s Day/ But nothing came back so I fuck the pain away,” sings Bloc Party frontman Kele Okereke.

“’Flirting Again’ is about being thrust back into the scene and trying to remember how it all works,” Kele Okereke said in a press release. “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 most recent full-length was 2022’s Alpha Games , their first new album in six years. Meanwhile, they dropped The High Life EP while on tour with Paramore last year.
