"We are a band of brothers. We've weathered many storms together, and I'm sure there's more to come. But music has always been where we find our voice, our way to sing back into the storm. In a volatile world of uncertainty, this song is a steady reminder to embrace the moment, to embrace each other and to embrace a narrative bigger than the storm," expressed Jon Foreman.

Let it happen
Tomorrow knows what tomorrow knows, you can't make it get here sooner
Let it happen
I don't know what the future holds, but I know you're my future. 

Switchfoot’s previously released instant grat tracks and music videos include the title-track, Native Tongue, Voices written by The Foreman Brothers, Brent Kutzle and Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic and Tyler Spry as well as All I Need.

Switchfoot also announced the North American leg of the Native Tongue Tour, which kicks off in Asheville, North Carolina on February 14, with stops in Toronto on February 28 and Vancouver on April 13.

In the midst of an impressive career spanning more than 20 years, Native Tongue is an inspired work of insight and passion from a band that continues to find strength in our differences and hope in what binds us. The 14-song project, recorded primarily at Melody League Studios in the band's hometown of San Diego, Calif., includes a wide array of music from the hard-hitting anthemic title-track to more reflective songs such as Prodigal Soul, Joy Invincible, and Voices. The band interlace empathy and introspection, urging us to "use our lungs for love and not the shadows." Native Tongue also features a moving collaboration with Kaela Sinclair on The Hardest Art.
