Imagine Dragons Release First Single From New Album

(Radio.com) Imagine Dragons' sophomore album is coming, and if the first single is any indication, the fans the Las Vegas band gained from their debut Night Visions will be pleased indeed - one might say they "bet their life" on it.

"I Bet My Life," the first single from Imagine Dragons' second album, was released late Sunday night (Oct. 26) to Vevo and YouTube. The song is full of the bombastic, pounding percussion that typified the four-piece's biggest hits over the past year or so, from "Radioactive" to "It's Time." Couple that with a group chorus meant to be shouted at the top of one's lungs - likely by fans whenever the band embarks on another tour around the new album's release.

"I know I took the path that you would never want for me / I gave you hell through all the years," frontman Dan Reynolds sings over a cacophony of guitar, drums and background shouting prior to exploding into the big chorus, which finds the band members repeating, "I'd bet my life on you."

"This song is about the relationship I've had with my parents throughout the years," Reynolds said in a press statement about the album. "At times it's been strained and difficult, but in the end, 'I Bet My Life' celebrates the bond that we still hold on to."

"I Bet My Life" is the first single from the band's unnamed second record and the followup to Night Visions. Check out the new song here.
