FLORENCE + THE MACHINE have released a dark and dancey new single entitled “Mermaids.”

Stream the song below.

 

While some fans have speculated whether the new song is related to the upcoming Little Mermaid or not, Welch has been outspoken about her love of mermaids in the past. In 2011, she performed a portion of “Part of Your World” during a video interview with Elle, and referred to singing the song as her “dream.” Last year, she alluded to “wanting to be a mermaid” for as long as she could remember.

 

So, the idea that Welch would jump at the chance to contribute to the soundtrack for the Little Mermaid makes sense… and it wouldn’t be the first time FLORENCE + THE MACHINE has participated in such a project. Earlier this year, they covered NO DOUBT’s “Just a Girl” for the Showtime drama Yellowjackets. Their iconic 2009 hit “Dog Days Are Over” was also used in the soundtrack for the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.
