**The Script Announces the Launch of Their New Album Before the End of 2025, Featuring the Return of Their Signature Sound**
*Dublin, Ireland – April 5, 2025* — Irish pop-rock band The Script has officially announced the release of their much-anticipated new album, set to drop before the end of 2025. This will be their seventh studio album and their first since 2021’s *Tales from the Script*, which marked a reflective look back at their greatest hits.
The band made the announcement via a heartfelt video message on social media, with frontman Danny O’Donoghue thanking fans for their continued support and patience. “We’ve poured our hearts and souls into this record,” he said. “It’s got everything you love about The Script — the emotion, the energy, the storytelling — but it also takes us into new territory.”
The yet-to-be-titled album is expected to feature collaborations with several high-profile artists, including Ed Sheeran and rising UK singer Freya Ridings. According to sources close to the band, the album will contain 12 tracks, blending the group’s trademark anthemic pop-rock sound with more intimate acoustic moments and modern production elements.
One of the standout tracks, teased in the video, is a song called “Before the End,” which Danny described as “an emotional letter to anyone holding onto hope through dark times.” The track is rumored to be a tribute to co-founder and guitarist Mark Sheehan, who passed away in 2023. His influence remains a powerful force throughout the album, both in spirit and in sound.
“This album is for Mark,” said drummer Glen Power. “We felt him in the studio every single day. He’s still with us — in the music, in the memories, and in the message.”
The band has also confirmed a world tour in support of the album, with dates expected to begin in early 2026. European cities including London, Dublin, Paris, and Berlin are confirmed stops, with North American and Australian legs to follow. Fans can expect presale details and album bundles to be released in the coming weeks.
Industry insiders are already predicting a major commercial success for the upcoming release, pointing to The Script’s loyal fanbase and the growing popularity of nostalgia-infused pop-rock. The band’s previous albums have all charted in the top 10 across multiple countries, with hits like “Breakeven,” “The Man Who Can’t Be Moved,” and “Hall of Fame” earning them international acclaim.
The Script’s return comes at a time when fans are eager for authentic, heartfelt music. “We didn’t want to rush this one,” Danny added. “We wanted to give people something real — something that says, no matter what you’re going through, there’s always a song that understands.”
As the countdown begins to their late-2025 release, fans around the world are already celebrating the return of one of Ireland’s most beloved bands. And if the early buzz is any indication, The Script’s new chapter may be their most powerful yet.
