The song appeared on schedule at 3pm EDT/12n PDT on Thursday. It was the first brand new single from the Roses since “Begging You,” a track from Second Coming, was released in October 1995. It came wthrough Sony Music.

The band has been hinting at new music ever since this reunion took hold in 2011. Does it live up to the hype?
