King Princess has unveiled new song "Change the Locks" as the fifth outing from her Hold On Baby album, and it features production from The National's Aaron Dessner.

The Aaron Dessner-produced "Change the Locks" track will appear on Hold On Baby with earlier outings "Too Bad", "Cursed", "For My Friends" and Fousheé collaboration "Little Bother".

Hold On Baby will follow King Princess' 2019 debut album Cheap Queen, and was produced with Mark Ronson, Ethan Gruska, Bryce Dessner, Dave Hamelin, Shawn Everett and Tobias Jesso Jr.

In a manifesto about the new record shared last month, King Princess wrote that "Hold On Baby is a search for a new heartbreak. It's a love letter to my girlfriend. It's a firm read of myself. And it's a reminder of the totems in my life that give me hope."

King Princess added, "I want this album to give us all some strength in accepting ourselves as chaotic as we can be. It's not easy being alive and I feel indebted to you all for providing me air to breathe in this insane world. That's what King Princess has always been about at its core; making a home for us to feel safe and weird and messy and imperfect. You are not alone in your feelings."

"Change the Locks" is out now. King Princess' Hold On Baby album will arrive on 29 July via Zelig Records/Columbia Records.
