On April 20, 2026- The All-American Rejects released their new single “King Kong” that’s filled with humor, but it represents that no matter what you do; you can be casted out as an outsider or being misunderstood exactly how King Kong was.

The bands next album Sandbox will be out May 15 and you can pre-order it here.

“‘King Kong’ is about leaving Los Angeles. I’m from a small town in Oklahoma, and I moved back home. When I got to L.A., I fell into an interesting crowd. It was the quintessential, ‘I’m in L.A. in my twenties and early thirties’, life. It’s a town where everyone is chasing the same industry. There’s no real life about it for me that I experienced until I left. Nick brought out the quality in the song. It was a very natural combination of our efforts.” – Tyson Ritter
