Def Leppard Debut New Song 'Kick' + Announce New Album

Def Leppard have officially announced Diamond Star Halos, their first new album since their self-titled effort that was released in 2015. Kicking things off is the lead single, "Kick," which can be heard toward the bottom of the page.

Earlier this week, the legendary group launched a countdown teaser site, which was set up to mimic a psychic hotline. Each member of the band — Joe Elliott, Rick Allen, Vivian Campbell, Phil Collen and Rick Savage — each had dedicated panels on the site where users were able to click to hear a brief prediction from the individual musicians with an option to also sign up for the Def Leppard mailing list.

Diamond Star Halos, the 11th original full length by the veteran band, will be released on May 27 through UME (Universal Music Enterprises) and you can view the complete track listing and album art further down the page. Pre-order the album here.

The record's release is quite timely with the long-awaited Stadium Tour, starring Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Poison, Joan Jett and The Blackhearts and more, finally kicking off on June 16 with an end date set for Sept. 9. Head here to view all the upcoming stops.

Def Leppard, "Kick" Lyrics

YOU’RE IN MY HEAD AGAIN
AND I KNOW WHERE IT’S GOIN’
I KNOW I’M GONNA NEED
ANOTHER TASTE OF YOUR POISON
YOU’RE THE PULSE TO MY MOTOR
MY ELECTRIC DESIRE
YOU’RE MY STAR BLAZED RHYTHM
LET ME DANCE IN YOUR FIRE
AND I JUST CAN’T STOP IT
ALL NIGHT EVERYDAY
AND I JUST CAN’T STOP IT
AND I LOVE IT THAT WAY
I DON’T WANNA KICK KICK
KICK YOUR HABIT
‘COS YOU NEVER QUIT QUIT
I GOTTA HAVE IT
I DON’T WANNA KICK KICK
KICK YOUR HABIT
‘COS YOU NEVER QUIT QUIT
I GOTTA HAVE IT
NA NA NA NA , NA NA NA , NA NA NA
SO WON’T YOU GIMME SOME MORE
I SAID
NA NA NA NA , NA NA NA , NA NA NA
SO WON’T YOU GIMME SOME MORE
AH KICK IT
YOU’RE RACING THROUGH MY BRAIN
LIKE A BOLT OF WHITE LIGHTNIN’
AND I CAN’T SLEEP IT OFF
‘COS YOUR LOVE’S ALWAYS STRIKIN’
YOU’RE THE TONIC TO MY THIRST
SWEET NECTAR OF SIN
I KEEP RUNNIN’ AWAY
BUT YOU KEEP DRAGGIN’ ME IN
