YUNGBLUD pushes back EP release date to ensure it's "absolutely perfect"

Last week, YUNGBLUD debuted the official music video for “Hope For The Underrated Youth” and dropped details about his forthcoming EP.

Now, it looks like we might have to wait a little bit longer to get our hands on this six-track EP following YUNGBLUD’s announcement earlier today.

  3. “original me” (feat. Dan Reynolds of Imagine Dragons)
  4. “casual sabotage”
  5. “hope for the underrated youth”
  6. “waiting on the weekend”

Today, YUNGBLUD took to Twitter to announce the EP release date would be pushed back by a week, dropping Oct. 18 instead.

“Yo! What’s going on? So, I was in the studio last night listening to the EP, and it occurred to me that one of the songs isn’t quite right yet. And I’ve got a bit of a favor to ask ya. I always want to keep it real with you guys, and I just wanna ask if I can have one more week on the EP, if I can push it back to the 18th from the 11th. Just because, I want everything I release to be absolutely perfect, and one of the songs I don’t think is yet.

So I’m sorry to anybody that’s gonna be well disappointed, but I promise you it’s coming out on the 18th. I will be dropping something next week, and it’s going to be mental to make up for it. It’s going to be crazy. I can’t wait. I love you all.”
