From Ashes To New: 'Love Me' Single Previews Deluxe Album
The new track drops ahead of a Nov. 13 release that expands 'Reflections' from 12 to 16 songs.
By Rafael Collins ·
From Ashes To New released the single 'Love Me' and its accompanying music video on Thursday. The track serves as the first look at 'Reflections (Deluxe Edition),' a 16-song expansion of their 2026 album.
Vocalist Matt Brandyberry described the song as exploring the aftermath of a sudden loss. He characterized the lyrics as focusing on a person who was expected to stay but vanished, leaving behind memories that feel physically present. Brandyberry said the dark atmosphere mirrors the desperation of reaching for someone absent.
The deluxe edition is scheduled for release on Nov. 13. It adds four tracks to the original 12-song lineup. The bonus material includes 'Love Me,' another new song, and alternate versions of 'Die For You.'
These alternate versions feature collaborations with alt-pop duo Neoni and The Midnight. The Neoni version was released in August. The original 'Die For You' remains on the initial track list.
'Reflections' is the band's fifth studio album, originally released in April. The project has driven the group to a career milestone with 'Drag Me' becoming their first No. 1 at Active Rock radio. The band is currently on an extensive 2026 tour.
They have added a second holiday show in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. This date follows a first December performance that sold out during presale. The group continues their tour schedule through the holiday season.
