As for “Elevator Girl,” the band had previously performed the song live, but it’s never had an official release until today.

You can listen to the live version first, and then listen to the new release as well below.


Before the tour announcement, the band told fans they’d be performing their first-ever U.S. arena headlining show at the Forum in Los Angeles on Oct. 11. Now, we know they’ll have a whole tour coming.

All of the news comes after BABYMETAL dropped the news they will be releasing a new album in 2019, a first since former member Yuimetal left the group last year. The group is currently comprised of Su-metal and Moametal.

The metal group made the album announcement via social media for “Fox Day” or April 1. BABYMETAL have previously made announcements on the date, which has been largely discussed on Reddit.

The new album will be the follow-up to the groups last album, Metal Resistance, from 2016.
