Bring Me The Horizon get romantic on new song "mother tongue"

Bring Me The Horizon attempt to unravel what lead singer Oli Sykes calls the “basically indescribable” feeling of love on their new song “mother tongue,” the latest taste of the band’s upcoming sixth album amo, out this Friday, Jan. 25.

Speaking with Zane Lowe, the BMTH singer tells the Beats 1 DJ that the song—which follows previous amo singles “medicine,” “wonderful life” (featuring Cradle Of Filth‘s Dani Filth) and “MANTRA“—was inspired by meeting his wife.

“It’s probably the most gushing, out there, just straight up love song we’ve ever written,” Sykes explains. “This was one of the easier ones to write because it was positive. It’s about when I first met my new wife and she’s from Brazil.”

The musician continues, “[S]he didn’t speak so much English. She talked a lot better than my Portuguese, but from the very start, we had a really, really strong connection and it was just a crazy time. And this song’s just talking about those experiences, which they just stick in my head. So, that was really one of the easier ones to write about.”

Talk about a sweet start to the new Bring Me The Horizon jam that graces our ears just days before the band’s latest album drop. And the tune comes right after the group reimagined their “medicine” music video for Spotify.
