The single is the next slice of the band's new album, Sweating Someone Else’s Fever, their first studio release in 15 years, which is released on 19th June 2026.

"Looking For Fun is inspired by the last line on The Clash’s White Man In Hammersmith Palais”, explains frontman Richard Archer. “It’s about trying to find the joy in life whilst everyone’s trying to kick you in the nuts.”
