“Everybody Scream” by Florence And The Machine

"Everybody Scream" opened the door to Florence and the Machine's sixth album in August 2025, lead single and title track at once, and the band's first new single since "Free" from Dance Fever. Florence Welch wrote it with Mark Bowen and Mitski, and produced it with Bowen, Aaron Dessner and James Ford.

The subject is the album's: witchcraft, madness, folk horror and mysticism, with Welch holding the life of a rock star up against that of a cult leader, and some critics catching nods to the Satanic panic. The credits read like a coven's orchestra, with the Deep Throat Choir among the backing singers, Tom Moth on harp, a string section, Stuart Bogie on saxophones and bass clarinet, and Mitski herself on piano. It's pitched at full theatrical volume, and it knows it.
