Rejoice! Years & Years are back... kinda.

Olly, Mike and Emre have surfaced from the studio to reveal a brand new song 'Hypnotised' as part of H&M's latest campaign launch, ERDEM x H&M.

The epically cinametic track is one of the grandest songs we've heard from the band yet, as Olly sings over gorgeously dramatic production with lush violins and sparkling piano.

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

"And every call that comes to life / As petals fall before your eyes / You kiss me and I’m hypnotised," he sings with the passion that we fell for on their debut.

'Hypnotised' us a testament to Years & Years' capabailities outside of the electro-pop world, as anyone familiar with their album Communion - so, everybody? - will know how hauntingly beautiful their songs can be.

The group performed the song at the campaign launch party in New York last night so we're hoping they'll release the full-length version to tide us over until the new album is ready.

Work on their highly-anticipated second album officially began back in January and they revealed earlier this month that almost eight (!!) songs are finished and ready to go.

It's been over a years since they released the severely underrated 'Meteorite' for the Bridget Jones' Baby soundtrack so we know that we are ready for some new Y&Y tunes.

Olly has written some of the new material with pop's biggest and best songwriting duo Julia Michaels and Justin Tranter, who have worked with everyone from Bieber ('Sorry'), Selena Gomez and Britney Spears.

He told BEAT magazine that he told the pair that he wanted to "write a Donna Summer song" and "to do Pharrell/Timbaland-era pop."

So, we're talking Nelly Furtado under disco lights? READY. FOR. IT.

Until then, check out 'Hypnotised'...

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
