DIIV have shared a brand new song, 'Return of Youth'
The new single explores parenthood and uncertainty, shortly after frontman Zachary Cole Smith's home was destroyed by LA wildfires.
DIIV have shared new single 'Return of Youth', their first release of 2025. The track arrives alongside a music video documenting the aftermath of the January Los Angeles wildfires that destroyed frontman Zachary Cole Smith's home.
The single explores themes of parenthood and uncertainty, written before the birth of Smith's child. "Return of Youth' was written before our son was born, a projection, zooming in until the larger existential dilemmas were out of frame... this one finds it in a mundane and simple micro', Smith says. 'I imagined seeing myself through the eyes of my child, a rebirth of sorts, laced with fear and insecurity, discovering beauty and serenity together in the simplest places'.
