YUNGBLUD’s latest single, ‘Zombie’, released today, May 30, 2025, is a hauntingly poignant track that delves into the emotional numbness of modern life. As the third single from his upcoming double album Idols, “Zombie” showcases YUNGBLUD’s evolution as an artist, blending raw vulnerability with his signature punk-infused energy.
A Soundtrack for the Scrolling Generation
There are songs you listen to – and there are songs you feel. YUNGBLUD’s brand new single Zombie? It’s 100% the latter. Dropped on May 30, 2025, Zombie is a moody, stripped-back anthem for anyone who’s ever felt stuck in the endless loop of life online. And let’s be real – that’s pretty much all of us these days.
Lyrics That Hit Way Too Close to Home
“I’m a zombie, scrolling through the screen, nothing really hits me, everything’s a dream.”
It’s simple. It’s honest. And it’s painfully accurate. In a time where we’re constantly glued to our phones, numbed out by news cycles and algorithm-fuelled doomscrolling, Zombie puts words to that weird emptiness so many of us live with but rarely talk about.
There’s no forced edginess here – just vulnerability. And that’s why it resonates.
The Live Moment That Sparked It All
Fans first heard Zombie during a surprise set at London’s Scala – an intimate gig that saw YUNGBLUD debut a few unreleased tracks. The reaction? Electric. A clip of that performance even blew up on TikTok (because of course it did).
Now, with the studio version out in the wild, it’s clear: Zombie isn’t just another single – it’s a statement.

Florence Pugh’s latest starring role is in Yungblud’s music video for his new track “Zombie.”
Released Friday, the Oscar-nominated actor leads the video as a medical professional struggling with the demands of her personal and professional life. Throughout, Yungblud sings about masking away pain and slipping into a zombie-like state while Pugh’s performance delivers his lyrics.
“Oh, I know that I can’t live without you / But this world will keep turning if you do / Would you even want me looking like a zombie? / Would you even want me, want me, want me?” he sings throughout the track.
