Shinedown has released a new single, “Searchlight,” marking the start of the next era for the band after a successful 2025.
It was a year that included sold-out arenas and a historic debut at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, where the band performed “Searchlight” for the first time.
“Searchlight” is a song about owning true feelings and finding purpose, paying homage to various music genres, and celebrating the moment of going out into the world, according to frontman Brent Smith.
The music video for “Searchlight,” shot by Andrew Donoho in Nashville, showcases the band’s live performance and emotional power behind the song.
