From Ashes to New will release “Love Me” on Friday, September 25, 2026, with an advance radio premiere scheduled for the preceding day. The Lancaster, Pennsylvania quintet announced the release date on Facebook. The new track is a standalone single, separate from an album.
Founder and vocalist Matt Brandyberry singled out “Love Me” as a personal favorite in a comment beneath the band’s announcement. “Top 3 favorite track we’ve ever made,” he wrote on Facebook.
The single follows Reflections, the band’s fifth studio album, which arrived April 17 through Better Noise Music. That record took shape after a substantial change of direction in the writing process. Having completed demos for 16 songs in late 2023, the band retained just two and rebuilt the project. The finished album contained 12 tracks, including “Die For You,” “Drag Me” and “Forever.”
“Die For You” has continued beyond its original album version. On August 21, the band released a new recording featuring guest vocals from Neoni. The collaboration with the sister duo revisited material from Reflections, while “Love Me” adds a separate song to the band’s releases this year.
SiriusXM has scheduled the exclusive world premiere of “Love Me” for midnight ET on Thursday, September 24. The song will air on Octane, channel 37, and remain in rotation throughout that day. Listeners can tune in through SiriusXM car radios or its app ahead of Friday’s release.
