Aerosmith have returned with their first new music in over a decade, teaming up with Yungblud on the collaborative EP One More Time. Released today (21.11.25), the five-track project brings together two generations of rock through fresh material and a reimagined classic. The collection features four original songs co-written by Aerosmith and Yungblud, with Steven Tyler and Yungblud sharing vocal duties, while guitarist Joe Perry’s signature sound anchors the release. The EP also includes a 2025 remix of Aerosmith’s classic Back in the Saddle, re-recorded with Yungblud. One More Time is now available on digital platforms, with limited-edition vinyl, CD and cassette formats also on sale.

The EP follows controversy surrounding Yungblud’s and Aerosmith’s tribute to Ozzy Osbourne at the MTV Video Music Awards in September. Dominic Harrison, 28, known professionally as Yungblud, joined Tyler, Perry and Extreme’s Nuno Bettencourt on stage to honour the late Black Sabbath frontman, who died aged 76 in July. The performance drew criticism from some quarters, including The Darkness guitarist Dan Hawkins, who described it as “another nail in the coffin of rock n roll”, while his brother Justin added that Yungblud was positioning himself as “a natural heir to the Ozzy legacy”.
Yungblud and Jack Osbourne, Ozzy’s son, later responded to the criticism on Jack’s Trying Not To Die podcast. Yungblud said: “All I was trying to do was my best for your old man, because he gave me such a gift. When people try to intellectualise a sense of spirit and six musicians on a stage going ‘f****** love you man’, it’s just bitter and jealous. They’re trying to insert themselves into a conversation for relevancy, yet they talk about authenticity.” Jack added: “These people didn’t f****** know how involved I was in my dad’s life. They don’t know the story we know, and I was kind of like, ‘F*** you dude’. Dom meant something to my dad, my dad meant something to Dom.”

Yungblud also defended the tribute, insisting anyone criticising it was not “real rock stars”. He said: “Anyone bigger than you or more emotionally evolved will never talk down on you. Your dad would never do that; James Hetfield wouldn’t do that; Kerry King wouldn’t do that. They don’t need to. People forget that rock is dictated by the people. As far as I’m concerned, the people loved it, and we got to put your dad’s face in front of another 100 million people that night, keeping that legacy alive.”
