Years & Years fans, we hear you, it's been a while since new music but it looks like the wait is almost over.

Olly Alexander gave us an update on their anticipated second album live from the studio yesterday, posting the world's most adorable video that even blesses us with some of those sublime vocals.

So, what's going on? Well, judging by his high spirits and use of the all-important word 'soon', we reckon it's coming along pretty nicely.

View the lyrics
I caught you watching me under the light
Can I realign?
They say it's easy to leave you behind
I don't want to try

[Pre-Chorus]:
Cut cover, take that test
Hold courage to your chest
Don't wanna wait for you
Don't wanna have to lose
All that I compromised to feel another high
I've got to keep it down tonight

And oh oh oh, I was a king under your control
And oh oh oh, I want to feel like you've let me go

[Post-Chorus]:
So let me go
Let go, let go, let go of everything

Don't you remember how I used to like being on the line
I dreamed you dreamed of me, calling out my name
Is it worth the price?

[Pre-Chorus]:
Cut cover, take that test
Hold courage to your chest
Don't wanna wait for you
Don't wanna have to lose
All that I compromised to feel another high
I've got to keep it down tonight

And oh oh oh, I was a king under your control
And oh oh oh, I want to feel like you've let me go

[Post-Chorus]:
So let me go
Let go, let go, let go of everything

Let go, let go of everything
Let go, let go of everything
Let go, let go of everything
(Let go, let go of everything)
Let go, let go, let go of everything
Let go, let go, of everything
Let go, let go, let go of everything
Let go, let go of everything

I had to break myself to carry on
No longer, no admission
Take this from me tonight
Oh let's fight

Let go, let go of everything
Let go, let go of everything
Let go, let go of everything
Let go, let go of everything

"Hey everybody on Twitter," he sings at the beginning, getting some introductions and apologies out of the way before the good stuff.

"We will have some new music soon. Thanks for being patient" - patient?! we certainly haven't been - "I'm so excited for you to hear the new stuff."

The trio have been working on the follow-up to their incredible debut Communion since January and revealed in October that they had eight (!) songs ready to go, which is very almost a full album.

Olly, Mikey and Emre teased their new music last month as a new song titled 'Hypnotised' was used as the soundtrack of H&M's ERDEM x H&M collection advert.

The brooding, otherworldly track built upon their signature synth-heavy electro-pop for a more dramatic, grander sound, meaning we might be hearing some new sounds on the upcoming album.

February marks the two-year anniversary of 'King' - their number one breakthrough hit - so it'd be lovely to get some new music for then. Just saying, boys...

View the lyrics
I don't know how it led to this
I felt a tremor in your kiss
Earth shakes, and I answer it
My body realigns
It's too much, I cannot handle this
I taste the pleasure on your lips
You make planets start to spin
I'm ready to ignite

Let me feel your devotion
Let me feel your emotion
Love me like it's the last night
Like it's the last night

Now hit me like a meteorite
Now hit me like a meteorite, oh
Just hit me like a meteorite
Don't let me go, don't let me go

You've been following the rush
I've sinned, but I keep it hush
You're near, but it's not enough
I need this to survive
Reckless what I'm heading for
Lights flash, and I hear a roar
One touch, and you're so powerful
You're burning through the night

Let me feel your devotion
Let me feel your emotion
Just love me like it's the last night
Like it's the last night

Now hit me like a meteorite, woah
Just hit me like a meteorite, oh
And now hit me like a meteorite

Don't let me go, don't let me go
I can feel it coming tonight
Don't let me go, don't let me go

Our path turned to stone, everything's forming
In silver and gold, the colour's are warning
And I see it glow, when I look to the sky
I want it all tonight, I want it all tonight

Now hit me like a meteorite
Just hit me like a meteorite
I said hit me like a meteorite
Don't let me go, don't let me go
I can feel it coming tonight
Don't let me go, don't let me go
