“Shot in the Dark” is a single by Australian rock band AC/DC from their upcoming seventeenth studio album Power Up. The song was recorded late 2018 to early 2019. It was released on 7 October 2020 at 3:00 p.m. (in Australia), and is the band’s first single released since 2015’s “Rock the Blues Away” from their album Rock or Bust. The iconic rock band’s new track is currently sitting at #1 across Active and Alt Rock Charts.
“You got a long night comin’
And a long night pumpin’
You got the right position
The heat of transmission
A shot in the dark make it feel alright
A shot in the dark all through the whole night
A shot in the dark yeah, electric sparks
A shot in the dark beats a walk in the park, yeah”
On 1 October 2020, the band teased the new single in a 30-second video posted on Twitter, appearing to power up the amp with its iconic lighting bolt logo while playing the song, and noting PWR/UP, short for Power Up. AC/DC went on hiatus after completing their Rock or Bust tour in 2016, which featured Guns N’ Roses singer, Axl Rose. In 2018, members Brian Johnson, Phil Rudd, and Cliff Williams rejoined the band after the two-year hiatus. On 5 October 2020, the band shared another short clip composed of behind-the-scenes footage featuring brief appearances by all five members of the band.
