Paul McCartney Announces New Album 'The Boys of Dungeon Lane', Releases New Song "Days We Left Behind"

Paul McCartney has announced that he will be releasing a brand new album, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, on May 29th, 2026 via MPL/Capitol Records. The acclaimed singer-songwriter has unveiled the album’s first single, “Days We Left Behind”.

In a press release announcing the new album and song, McCartney stated the following:

“This is very much a memory song for me. The album title, The Boys of Dungeon Lane, comes from a lyric in this track. I was thinking just that, about the days I left behind and I do often wonder if I’m just writing about the past but then I think how can you write about anything else? It’s just a lot of memories of Liverpool. It involves a bit in the middle about John and Forthlin Road which is the street I used to live in. Dungeon Lane is near there. I used to live in a place called Speke which is quite working class. We didn’t have much at all but it didn’t matter because all the people were great and you didn’t notice you didn’t have much.”

You can check out the new single, along with the album artwork and track listing, below.
