Available globally on all digital retail and streaming sites, "Walk On Water" marks the first single from the multi-platinum selling band's highly anticipated forthcoming fifth studio album. The song debuted on alternative radio stationss well as an 'all day premiere' with iHeart Radio.

"Walk On Water" had its world television debut in a breathtaking performance on the MTV VMAs.   The song features a sweeping chorus as a call to arms that embodies the spirit of elite athletes, which made it a natural fit for the band, and in collaboration with ESPN, to use "Walk On Water" on ESPN's college football programming for the 2017 season.  The band's latest single is slated to be used across a variety of shows, promotions and games on ESPN's college football platforms—television and digital. 

Jared Leto first hinted at new music in a dramatic teaser video unveiled on his Instagram in June. The band then confirmed the new single in August with another video. The record, set for release on Interscope Records, follows the band's 2013 studio album LOVE LUST FAITH + DREAMS, which debuted inside the Top 10 on Billboard's Top 200 chart.

"WALK ON WATER is a song for all of us. It's a song about freedom, about persistence, about change and about fighting for what you believe in. It is a call to arms but also full of all the optimism and hope that is such an integral part of the American Dream," said Jared Leto.
