Billy Morrison, guitarist for Billy Idol and former bassist of The Cult, has joined forces with The Offspring frontman Dexter Holland on a new single called “Never Gonna Change.”
The song is the third preview of Morrison’s upcoming album, HOLLOW, which arrives on August 7th, following previously singles “Becoming” (featuring Godsmack’s Sully Erna and Extreme’s Nuno Bettencourt) and the title track. Other artists appearing on the album include Chuck D., B Real, Duff McKagan, Steve Stevens, and more.

“Never Gonna Change,” which was written by Morrison and Jacob Bunton, is a pop-punk ditty with a sing-along chorus.
“‘Never Gonna Change’ is one of those perfect pop punk slices of rebellion that hopefully spans a couple of generational gaps,” stated Morrison. “Teenagers will always feel the same—misunderstood—and Dexter has been one of the most vital voices of teenage angst and rebellion since The Offspring hit the world running in 1984.”
Holland added, “Billy Morrison has a great track record and is a good guy so when he sent me ‘Never Gonna Change’ for a collab, it was an immediate ‘I’m in.’ The song is just the right amount of angst, rebellion and fun. A summer banger if you ask me.”
