Taking One for the Team is the fifth studio album by French-Canadian pop punk band Simple Plan. It is scheduled for release on February 19, 2016 through Atlantic Records and represents their first full-length record in nearly five years.[3] Following the release of three buzz singles in mid 2015, the band released "I Don't Wanna Go to Bed" featuring American rapper Nelly as the official lead single for the album on October 16, 2015.[4]

Singles

"I Don't Wanna Go to Bed" was released October 16, 2015 as the album's official lead single.[5] The song features pop and funk influences in a stylistic departure from the pop punk and pop rock of the group's earlier work. A Baywatch-inspired music video premiered October 15, 2015 – a day before the song's digital release.[4] It has since peaked outside the top 50 on the Canadian Hot 100 at number 54.[6]

"Opinion Overload" is the second single from the album Taking One for the Team. It was released on 5 February 2016. The single released two weeks before the album released. This song featured pop punk and alternative rock style.

Other songs

The first song released from the era was "Saturday" on June 22, 2015.[7] In September 2015, drummer Chuck Comeau revealed the song would not be featured on the album.[8]

"Boom" was released August 28, 2015 as the second promotional single after its music video premiered a day earlier.[9][10]

A third buzz track, "I Don't Wanna Be Sad", was released September 18, 2015.[11] Initially presumed to be the album's first official single, it was later announced to be a promotional track only.[12]
