The Script today embrace the start of a new era as they release their new album ‘The User’s Guide To Being Human’. The record represents the next chapter in The Script’s enduring story, having previously achieved six UK #1 albums and eight back home in Ireland – in the process amassing 14 billion streams, 5 million album sales, and countless international Platinum certifications led by two US Platinum singles and two US Top 10 albums.
‘The User’s Guide To Being Human’ comes from Danny O’Donoghue’s deep passion for using words and music to express emotions that might otherwise go unspoken. As AI takes off, it’s a record fuelled by human connection with heartfelt themes covering love, friendship, addiction, the power of community and staying true to your beliefs regardless of any criticism that comes your way. It’s also an album in which the spirit of Danny’s much-missed bandmate Mark Sheehan feels present, especially within its biggest, most bombastic moments such as ‘Stars Align’ and ‘After We’re Gone’.
Anticipation for the record mounted following its two lead singles that have both been playlisted at Radio 2. The hard-hitting, mega-catchy‘Man In The Arena’ and a new fan favourite ‘The Crowd Was Singing Wonderwall’, a towering ode to nostalgia as a superpower that was inspired by the stadium-sized communal joy that gripped the world during Oasis’s Live ’25 tour.
The title comes from Danny’s time working on the album in Los Angeles. He saw driverless taxis, Tesla Silver Bullets and robots delivering food – but having to veer round homeless people on the sidewalk. As with the broader album, the title is a timely reminder of the importance of real, shared in-life experiences in an era in which virtual artifice and automation dominate culture and conversation.
Physical formats of ‘The User’s Guide To Being Human’ are available to buy HERE. All album bundles from the band’s official store add a signed limited edition photo print.
The Script will celebrate the release of ‘The User’s Guide To Being Human’ by commencing a huge international headline arena tour. It opens in Dublin in October before heading across the UK and Europe, while a second leg covering Asia and Australia follows in 2027. The emotional, soul-deep connection that they share with their fans is particularly powerful at live shows, as evidenced by the 4.5 milliontickets that they have sold so far in their career.
