Billy Morrison (Billy Idol, etc.) has shared a lyric video for his new song “Never Gonna Change.” You can find that below. The track, which features Dexter Holland (The Offspring), is from Morrison’s new album, “Hollow,” which will be released on August 7.

Morrison commented on the single:

“‘Never Gonna Change’ is one of those perfect pop punk slices of rebellion that hopefully spans a couple of generational gaps. Teenagers will always feel the same — misunderstood — and Dexter has been one of the most vital voices of teenage angst and rebellion since The Offspring hit the world running in 1984. So when I finished writing this track with Los Angeles-based songwriter Jacob Bunton, it was clear we wanted Dexter to be the voice of the track. Dexter and I recently performed together in Royal Machines, so I dropped him a text and he loved the idea. Thanks to the miracle of modern technology, he was able to record his tracks in the middle of an Offspring tour, and Barry Pointer mixed it all into the killer track we have here.”

Holland continued:

“Billy Morrison has a great track record and is a good guy so when he sent me ‘Never Gonna Change’ for a collab, it was an immediate ‘I’m in.’ The song is just the right amount of angst, rebellion and fun. A summer banger if you ask me.”

Morrison also added the following about the video:

“The days of a black screen with white text for a lyric video are way behind us, and Mike Savage is creating killer, story-driven lyric videos which fit this track perfectly. It’s an easy, fun way to put some appropriate visuals to the song and get the lyrics out there. Mike did a great job on this one.”
