Yellowcard drop deluxe edition of Better Days featuring new Steve Aoki team-up

Yellowcard have released the deluxe edition of Better Days, led by the new song "Hell With Me," a collaboration with Steve Aoki out now through Better Noise. The track also arrives with a lyric video and was mixed by longtime band producer Neal Avron.

The song grew out of a demo Aoki had sitting around and passed along to the group, who shaped it into a crossover blending electronic production with pop-punk melody. It is the second official pairing between the two camps, following the 2023 EDM remix of the band's 2003 single "Ocean Avenue." Singer and guitarist Ryan Key called Aoki "an absolute legend," while Aoki described the result as a mixture of rock and electronic music.

The deluxe rollout was set up by the single "Calvary Drive" and by a version of "Bedroom Posters" featuring Blippi. Earlier in the year, the band cut another take on "Bedroom Posters" with Good Charlotte, which topped Billboard's Alternative Airplay chart and racked up 2.6 million Spotify streams. That version appears on the expanded release as well.

Since arriving in October 2025, Better Days has passed 65 million streams and delivered Yellowcard their first two number ones at Alternative radio, with the title track and then "Bedroom Posters." The album cycle has also included collaborations with Avril Lavigne and Alkaline Trio.

Yellowcard are touring North America through September. In November, the band heads to Europe for a run of dates with Good Charlotte.
