After a prolific run from 2013 to 2017 that saw the release of two EPs and three full length albums along with over 200 live shows, The Wild Young Hearts went on an indefinite hiatus shortly after the release of their third album HOODLUMS.

Fast forward to late 2021, The Wild Young Hearts are back for the first time in nearly five years with the release of the newest single, "Valley Boys".

When approached for a comment regarding the rumors of a potential return, the following statement was released by TWYH and their legal team located in Reseda, California, in response to questions about future plans:  

"We're Back".

Valley Boys

You were a shiny spanish day dream, 
meant for the silver screen.  
And I was a boy with nothing 
I was high on fantasy.  
And we would drive around, 
every single night.  
two kids stoned on ritalin, 
weed, love, and adrenaline.  

And I never meant to break your heart, 
and I never wanted to grow apart.  
And I hope you know i'm sorry, 
yeah for always disregarding what you wanted…

Katie I don't understand, 
what it means to be your man, 
oh I let you down, 
I'm the reason everything is wrong…

I don't see you all that often 
since you decided you had your fill.  
And though I know I never call 
just know i think about you still.  
And I hope you find a man, 
one who will treat you right. 
I hope he gives you everything, 
that I could not provide.  

And I know that I was never around, 
and I apologize for bringing you down.  
And I know I don't deserve you 
and I'm sorry that I hurt you it's all my fault. 

Katie I don't understand, 
what it means to be your man, 
oh I let you down, 
I'm the reason everything is wrong…

 Katie on the day you went your own way, 
I swear the San Diego sun turned to the deepest color gray.  
I think it rained all night, 
I think it rained all night. 

Katie I don't understand, 
what it means to be your man, 
oh I let you down, 
I'm the reason everything is wrong…
