Adult Leisure has today released their new single titled ‘See Her’, featuring guest saxophone from longtime The 1975 & Sam Fender collaborator John Waugh, from their upcoming album ‘The Things You Don’t Know Yet’, dropping on October 3rd.
‘See Her’ is a near-perfect example of instrumentation creatively filling the spaces. John Waugh is a solid addition to this song. The saxophone defines the track.
The hook is a monster. It literally reminds me of the glory days of radio, for me, being the early to mid-eighties, when every song was a standout and every artist a star. ‘See Her’ clings to your memory, becoming a part of you. This is a much-needed addition for anyone’s summer playlists.

About ‘See Her’ & ‘The Things You Don’t Know Yet’
The track follows February’s celebrated release ‘Dancing Don’t Feel Right’, championed by The Line of Best Fit, Pop Journal, and Ones To Watch. The album’s previous singles ‘Kiss Me Like You Miss Her’ and ‘Borderline’ saw support from BBC Radio 6’s Indie Forever show, The Line Of Best Fit, Fresh on the Net and multiple Spotify editorial playlists with ‘Borderline’ being used to open an E4 Made In Chelsea episode, their first national TV sync placement.
‘See Her’, recorded and mixed with Ollie Searle at Humm Studios and mastered by John Webber (David Bowie, Duran Duran, Coach Party), is a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it pocket rocket of vibrant energy. Through nostalgia-laden melodies and sing-along choruses that Adult Leisure are fast becoming known for, ‘See Her’ offers a sarcastic take on the breakdown of a relationship and the biting realization that you’re happier now that it’s over.
On the singles’ lyrical inspirations, vocalist and lyricist Neil Scott explains, “We wrote ‘See Her’ towards the end of 2023. In its full form, almost two years later, it’s developed into a song unapologetically soaked in pop, yet true to who we are and the stories we want to tell. Lyrically, ‘See Her’ offers a sarcastic take on the breakdown of a relationship. Far from doom and gloom or sorrow, it’s about that feeling you get when you realize how much better off you are now that it’s over.
“The song features the incredible John Waugh (The 1975, Sam Fender) on saxophone. When we discovered he was interested in joining the project, we were over the moon – he adds the perfect spice this tune has been waiting for since its inception.”
“This song means everything to us, and we cannot wait for people to hear it and sing their lungs out to it.”
A 12-date headline album tour has just been announced, commencing at London’s Sebright Arms and ending at Liverpool’s Kazimier Stockroom, including renowned venues such as Manchester’s Night & Day Cafe and Bristol’s Thekla, their biggest hometown headline to date. See below for dates.
