As we inch closer and closer towards the release of ‘New Love’ album on the 21st of February, Ziggy Alberts has today released the final teaser of his highly anticipated seventh studio album; ‘I’m With You’ – an uplifting, smile-inducing single that’s all about appreciating the important things in life.
‘I’m With You’ sets the pace for the final weeks leading up to ‘New Love’; promising a rich journey through honesty, self-discovery, and the beauty of imperfection. Featuring fan favourites like ‘Singing For Country’, ‘Where Does The Love Go‘, ‘Outlaw’ and ‘New Love’, the album was recorded with co-producer Garrett Kato to capture a raw, authentic simplicity designed for live performance.
‘I’m With You’ is Ziggy at his brightest, full of life and bursting with authentic charm. With his signature folk-pop sound, Ziggy invites his fans to surrender to the magic of love on ‘I’m With You’, stating that “Love in its purest form, has a way of bringing us back to ourselves. This song is about embracing that with open arms.”
Whether that’s rekindling a love-lost, or as Ziggy details in the track, reconnecting with mother nature (“I’m ready now to give my heart to the sea again”) ‘I’m With You’ is about second chances.
“Sometimes we are blinded by desire when some things are right in front of us. It’s a really, truly happy song; it’s not even sentimental; it’s simply happy-go-lucky, which I love.”

‘I’m With You’ is the most upbeat number we’ve seen from Ziggy during this album cycle, with a spirited rhythmic chord progression that lays the perfect groundwork for Ziggy’s vocal performance. ‘I’m With You’ has many firsts for Ziggy from a songwriting perspective – including a call and response section that brings a fresh energy to his sound.
“I have a couple of early memories of this song. At home in Australia, late 2023, is where I think it
started. I was working on this song backstage at The Forum Melbourne at the end of the ‘Rewind
World Tour’ and was jamming it in our common room when Nathan Ball’s eyes lit up, and he assured
me this was a winner (ha ha). I remember feeling like I’d discovered the song when I found the 3 words & melody at the end of the chorus – “I’m with you”. The melody continues upwards right until the end, which is rare for my songwriting style.” ZIGGY ALBERTS
