Earthling will be Vedder's third solo effort, following 2011's Ukulele Songs. It'll see the musician collaborate with 2021 Producer of the Year, Grammy winner Andrew Hatt.

Fans can pre-order the single on 7-inch vinyl alongside the B-side "The Haves." Vedder teased in an Instagram post that the unheard song was "soon-to-be-released."

Hear "Long Way" below. While a release date and tracklist for Earthling are still pending, the record is due via Seattle Surf/Republic.
