"The Right Thing Is Hard To Do" is the first taster of Lightning Bug's third album, and follows last year's cover of "Waterloo Sunset".

Lead vocalist Audrey Kang says of the new track, "Here I wanted to connect how the struggles and flaws within the individual are mirrored in the greater problems of society. How do we as individuals know we are on the right path? How do we as a society, as a species, know we are on the right path? So I started with myself, and my own struggles, touching on how I hide myself away from other people, on my stage fright, on my inability to be vulnerable, on this feeling I used to have that I needed to prove I was worthy of being alive. Then I tried to connect these struggles outward to global issues like xenophobia, arbitrary borders, the lines we draw between ourselves and the environment, and the ways we sacrifice the health of the planet for human convenience."

A Color of the Sky will follow the band's 2019 second album October Song.

The seeds for their new album were planted after Kang attended a festival of kites. She explains, "I really didn't know what my life was going to look like, but at the kite festival, I knew that each day I'd see a lot of beautiful kites, and each evening I'd watch the sunset and sleep on the beach. I felt like nothing could hurt me."

Lightning Bug recorded their new album as a live band in a rundown old house in the Catskills that they turned into a makeshift studio. Kang says, "Songs in the past sometimes felt muddled, or I felt lost where to take them. But for this one, each song felt like a whole entity from conception."

She adds of the album, "I want listeners to explore their own interior worlds. It's about learning to trust yourself, about being deeply honest with yourself, and about how self-acceptance yields a selfless form of love."
