A Day to Remember: "You’re Welcome"

A Day To Remember's highly anticipated seventh album, "You're Welcome" was announced in August 2019, was expected to be released on November 15th, 2019 on their new label, Fueled by Ramen. But just a week before it dropped the band announced the album would be delayed until 2020.

The band has named the album, You’re Welcome, with the help of a fan and McKinnon elaborated to Kerrang on why the album was named that:

“Well, I needed a hoodie for a show. It was our first show back from this massive time that we took off. Me and my wife had our first kid, the band was cool, and we pretty much took the whole year off to just be home, so I could be a part of that first year and help out. In the downtime, whenever I could, I’d be writing. So that’s really why we’ve been gone for so long. But for the first show back, I put on this outfit and was like, ‘Oooh, I need a white hoodie with this.’ So I went to the store and bought a white hoodie, and it said in red, ‘You’re Welcome,’ and the color matched my shoes that I was wearing, and I was like, ‘Oh, this is perfect!’ There was a photo that was taken of me at this festival that we’d played in Mexico where I’m singing, and I pull my hoodie and it says, ‘You’re Welcome’. I got tagged in the photo the next day, and the first comment said, ‘Calling it now: the new A Day To Remember album is called You’re Welcome!’ And because I read it online, completely unguarded, it kind of hit me like I was told the A Day To Remember record name for the first time. I sat there, and it kind of had me stunned (laughs). I was like, ‘I think I love that.’ So it was named by a fan.”

McKinnon also said this album has one of the heaviest songs the band has ever done. On a comment to their most recent song Mindreader the band commented the name of the song is "Last Chance to Dance (Bad Friend) " and that the song is heavier than "Violence (Enough is Enough)" off their 2013 album, Common Courtesy. More information on the album will be released as the bands releases it.
