Weezer team up with NASA for new song "I Love The USA"—listen

Just in time for the Fourth Of July, Weezer have dropped a brand new track called “I Love The USA.”

The band was asked by NASA and Apple to team up with them to celebrate the launch of NASA's newest mission Juno, which will be reaching Jupiter's orbit on July 4.

Frontman Rivers Cuomo annotated the song's lyrics on Genius, and had this to say: “We were on tour abroad, and it got me thinking a lot about America, which lead to me write ‘I Love The U.S.A.’ When Apple and NASA asked us to be involved with Juno’s historic landing on July 4th, this song seemed like the perfect fit.”

“I Love The USA” is Weezer's first new track since their most recent record release in April.
