WORLD PREMIERE: Listen to Portugal. The Man's brand new single, 'What, Me Worry?'

Now playing on your favorite Audacy Alternative stations

Audacy World Premiere: Portugal. The Man - 'What, Me Worry?'
Portugal. The Man - 'What, Me Worry?'

"The Lords of Portland," Portugal. The Man have stepped into 2022 with their first new single, "What, Me Worry?," off of their highly-anticipated ninth studio album set to arrive this summer.

Listen below as Audacy host Megan Holiday speaks with the band about their new music and more, and hear "What, Me Worry?" all day today on your favorite Audacy Alternative stations.


PTM's John Gourley and Zach Carothers joined Audacy's Megan Holiday to talk about the exciting times surrounding the new offering, and what fans can expect in the months to come. For Megan, the new single elicited thoughts of the differences in social health measures from one town to the next; an idea that was at the forefront of the band's collective mind as they emerged from the relatively enclosed bubble of their hometown of Portland to perform on stage again. Listening through, the iconic meme of a dog sitting in a burning house thinking everything is fine flashed in Megan's mind. "That's amazing," Zach says. "That's exactly what we had in mind when we wrote this."

Zach explains, "We wrote this with Ryan Tedder [OneRepublic], he's a super handsome, super talented dude, in a really nice house we totally did not belong, we were just having fun. A lot of this stuff came up with all of the misinformation and the divisiveness of everything right now, and how everything is just so serious and heavy, that at some point you just kind of throw up your hands... finding beauty in the chaos and just being OK with yourself in whatever situation you're in."

Portugal. The Man is set to hit the road at the end of the month with alt-J, hitting a number of North American cities through April. Check out a full list of dates below.
