TORONTO, July 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Dust off the Walkman, dig out that denim jacket, and prepare for a neon-coloured nostalgia trip: Men Without Hats are back with a synth-pop banger that celebrates the decade that made them legends. Their new single, "I Love the '80s," out now, with a hairsprayed wink and a shoulder-padded strut, and it's everything music fans would expect from the band who gave the world "The Safety Dance"—and more.
"I Love the '80s" is a riotous, melodic time machine powered by boom boxes, moonwalks, tube tops, and enough pop-culture references to make Stranger Things blush. "Everybody felt alive / Back in 1985," sings frontman Ivan Doroschuk, before commanding us to "Party like it's '82" and "Dance safely across the floor / Like we did in '84."
This gloriously cheeky synth-soaked anthem is the lead single from their upcoming album Men Without HatsOn The Moon, slated for release in mid-October. Produced by Grammy and Juno winner Brian Howes (Hinder, Simple Plan), mixed by the legendary Mark Needham (The Killers, Elton John), and mastered by Howie Weinberg (Nirvana, U2), the track was written by Ivan Doroschuk and Howes and recorded at Black Stove Studios on Vancouver Island.
It's a high-voltage return from a band whose influence on pop culture is still alive and pogo-dancing. From Montreal basement gigs in 1977 to stadium-filling synth anthems in the '80s, Men Without Hats have carved out an enduring space in music history. "Pop Goes The World" and "The Safety Dance" are more than hits—they're international memes, football chants, and soundtrack staples for generations.
This lineup—Ivan Doroschuk (vocals), Sahara Sloan (keyboards and vocals), Sho Murray (guitar), and Adrian White (drums)—is tight, charismatic, and utterly infectious. Sahara, daughter of founding member Colin Doroschuk, brings the band's story full circle with next-gen synth magic and harmonies that sparkle.
With 31 million views on YouTube, nearly 10 million monthly Spotify listeners, and a fanbase spanning generations, Men Without Hats continue to blend the joyful absurdity of the 1980s with modern polish.
"I Love the '80s" isn't about going back—it's about bringing the joy of that era forward. So, pull up those leg warmers, crank the volume, and dance safely into the future.
