The rise of The Linda Lindas continues upward as the band has now signed to Reprise/Warner Records, and the group is celebrating the label move with a brand-new single, “Burning Out.”
Per a press release, “Burning Out” was written mere weeks after singer-guitarist Lucia de la Garza graduated from high school. As she grappled with “feeling like the world is passing you by,” the band assembled a tune that rides the line between being lost and embracing the resulting freedom. It is, in short, an anthem for that most universal of experiences: the post-high school blues.
Below, check out the corresponding music video, which captures the song’s multifaceted emotional hue.

“‘Burning Out’ felt so simultaneously new and nostalgic for us, and I think that was super fitting for me especially, because I had just graduated high school and I was feeling very surrounded by change,” de la Garza said in a statement. “We went on a week-long writing retreat in Palm Springs less than a month after graduation, and that’s where we wrote this song about feeling like the world is passing you by. Knowing that my friends would all be going to college in the fall, it made sense my head was in a very nostalgic place.”
Meanwhile, The Linda Lindas’ moves keep right on coming as the band will be on tour this fall with Bleachers. Grab your tickets right now over at Ticketmaster.
“Burning Out” represents some of the band’s first music since their 2024 sophomore album, No Obligation. (That album followed their equally great debut, 2022’s Growing Up.) Earlier this year, they teamed up with members of Social Distortion and Foo Fighters for the charity single “We Are LA!” Stay tuned for more news on album No. 3 as it unfolds.
