After spending a year and a half writing and recording their upcoming album, The Pretty Reckless is ready to share the first sample, unveiling the new single, "For I Am Death," everywhere. Taylor Momsen joined Abe Kanan this week to unpack it all, and talk about the band's first new LP in 4 years during an Audacy Check In.

"To be honest, I want to know what it means to you," Momsen tells Abe after being asked about the story behind "For I Am Death," the band's first offering from the upcoming project.

"I think that to me that's what music is. I can sit here and tell you exactly where I was when I wrote it, and what I was thinking about and all of those things, but that doesn't actually give you the meaning of the song, that just can kind of help explain how I got there. The meaning of music, it transforms over time and honestly what it means to me isn't what it means anymore because it's out in the world. Once it's out in the world, it doesn't belong to me anymore, it belongs to you and to anyone who's listening to it."

The new album was recorded between tour stops with a little band called AC/DC, as The Pretty Reckless went around the world opening for the Rock icons on their 'Power Up Tour.' "The next 12 months of The Pretty Reckless world is gonna be insane," Taylor teases. "There's a lot coming. This is just the beginning."

For what it's worth, Momsen was warned about the tough crowds on tour with AC/DC, but gushes about the response they've gotten and the thrill of watching the band every night. "We've toured with a lot of people. I've seen a lot of bands in my lifetime, whether I've played with them or just gone to shows. I'm a music fan, and AC/DC is unlike anyone else," she raves. "They invented this and it's very clear. You're schooled by AC/DC every night as to what Rock and Roll is and why it is what it is, and it's because of them."
