Liss have teamed up with Nilüfer Yanya for their new single "Boys in Movies", which is lifted from the Danish group's upcoming debut album I Guess Nothing Will Be The Same.

"Boys in Movies" is the third outing from Liss' debut album, following last month's lead tracks "Country Fuckboy" and "Exist", and sees them unite with Nilüfer Yanya.

Liss said of the new release, "Søren [Holm, late lead vocalist] constantly sought out new music and always shared his discoveries with everyone around him. He was never afraid to reach out to those people who inspired him. "Boys in Movies" is a track that has had several different identities. It found its direction when we shared it with Nilüfer Yanya, who helped us highlight the energy and gave the song a whole new dimension."

I Guess Nothing Will Be The Same was recorded with Holm before his death in May 2021, and the group decided to release the album with the blessing of Holm's family.

Speaking about the album title and release, Liss said, "The title has taken on a new meaning since we lost Søren, but we don't feel that the album can be called anything else. Even though we feel confident in releasing the music, it is still difficult to do. Working with the material is a constant reminder of Søren’s absence. It is important to break the taboo that is connected to suicide, and as we choose to release the music and speak openly about what has happened, it is with the hope that others who may be in a difficult place in their lives or who experience suicidal thoughts will find the courage to talk to someone about it. Losing Søren is the hardest thing we have ever experienced, and we wish with everything in the world that it had never happened. We will never stop missing him."
