Philadelphia-founded pop rock duo Hall & Oates have released their first new song in 14 years, and it’s a collaboration with with Train (“Hey, Soul Sister”) about how much they miss their home city.
The singers, who haven’t released any original new music together since 2004, took to Twitter Friday to announce their new song, “Philly Forget Me Not”.

“This song pretty much describes my feeling about Philly, my music home,” John Oates, who is one half of the popular duo alongside Daryl Hall, said in a statement.
Hall & Oates will be co-headlining a tour with Train this summer, and Oates said he and Hall are looking forward performing the new track onstage. “It will be cool to play a new song on this upcoming tour with Train,” he added.
