The Used Share New Song 'The Lighthouse' Featuring Blink-182's Mark Hoppus

The Used are gearing up to drop their eighth studio album Heartwork on Friday (April 24), and before its release they're giving us one more preview with "The Lighthouse" — a pensive song featuring blink-182's Mark Hoppus.

Hoppus describes the track to GRAMMY.com as  "one of those songs that came together very quickly, with everybody excitedly throwing ideas around... What emerged from the session is a track we’re all very proud of, and I hope everyone likes it as much as we do."

"It's amazing to get to be in the studio and to experience his creative mind," The Used frontman Bert McCracken said of working with Hoppus. "He's a different kind of writer. He is really quick fire. It's really cool to watch him work like that. And yeah, he's pretty legendary, even for someone who's outside of the whole world of pop-punk it's still like, oh, huge deal. So, we're beyond excited and yeah, it was a pleasure. I think it was a long time coming, but it was an absolute pleasure. We did a couple of songs with him, so there's some unreleased stuff that will be out later on as well."

Blink drummer Travis Barker is also featured on the new album. Listen to "The Lighthouse" below.
