The tune begins with Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler and Yungblud belting out the chorus a cappella. Tyler then sings the first verses before harmonizing with British rocker on the chorus. Yungblud takes the second verses, leading into another chorus. The track then features an instrumental break featuring a frenetic guitar solo, followed by one more majestic chorus.
Lyrically, “My Only Angel” appears to be sung from the perspective of a guy who is saying farewell to a woman with whom he’s enamored, but who he doesn’t want to be tied down to.
The track is available now as a digital download and via streaming services. A companion music video featuring of Aerosmith members and Yungblud working on the song in a recording studio has on YouTube.
As previously reported, One More Time will be released on November 21. The five-track EP features four new original tunes and an updated version of Aerosmith’s classic song “Back in the Saddle.” You can pre-order One More Time now.
