Which One Do You Want?

To Brooklyn Bridge at the break of dawn
Guide my way
We watch the boats go out to sea
Won’t you stay?

So which one do you want?
I want both
Which one do you want?
I want both

Reflected skies in her hazel eyes
Light my way
Eyes as blue as a swimming pool
Won’t you stay?

So which one do you want?
I want both
Which one do you want?
I want both

Which one do you want?
Which one do you want?
Oh-oh, which one do you want?
Which one do you want?

First light is blessed in your party dress
Won’t you stay?
Up all night, if you miss your flight
You should stay

Which one do you want?
I want both
Which one do you want?
I want both

Which one do you want?
Which one do you want?
Which one do you want?
I want both
I want both
I want both
I want both

Song Notes

“Which One Do You Want?” was released as a double A-side single with “Fun People” on 1 September 2025. Describing the track upon its release, drummer Rick McMurray explained that the track is one of the oldest on the album, dating way back to the band’s New York days.

“So what’s the deal; why has it taken so long to find a home? Listening to it in isolation, it’s the perfect pop song. It swoops, it soars, it sings of desire. But it didn’t fit with the last record, and it didn’t fit with what we thought at the time was the next record.”

“I wouldn’t say it’s the reason why we paused for thought and decided to make a different record to the one we started out to make, but I reckon with hindsight, it could be seen as the hinge around which every album we release this decade rotates. It’s guitar pop for sure but it’s utterly unlike the guitar pop we’ve been known for, and it might just be a marker in the sand for where we’re going in the second half of the ’20s. Is that a lot of pressure for one song to bear? Maybe, but it straddles the two sides of this band we’ve been grappling with over the last decade and holds the past and future effortlessly in its orbit.”
