Blondie sent "Long Time" out on March 24, 2017, the second taste of Pollinator, the band's eleventh album of studio material, and it's a co-write between Deborah Harry and Blood Orange's Dev Hynes. John Congleton produced it, with extra production from Tony Hoffer, and Rich Costey mixed. It got its first radio spin on Ken Bruce's BBC Radio 2 show a few days before release.
Critics warmed to its euphoric, freshly minted disco pulse and a chorus that hits its mark, and plenty caught a deliberate nod to 1979's chart-topper "Heart of Glass" without hearing a retread. Besides the download there was a limited run of 2000 seven-inch copies backed with the non-album "The Breaks", and in its second week it climbed to number one on both the UK's physical and vinyl singles charts.
