It was released on June 1, 2017, as the first single from the band's fifth studio album, Everything Now (2017).[4] It was produced by Thomas Bangalter, Steve Mackey and the band itself.

Release

Before playing "Neighborhood 1 (Tunnels)" during their Sunday headlining set at the 2016 Voodoo Music + Arts Experience in New Orleans, Arcade Fire recorded the audience singing a melody off their upcoming album, which became "Everything Now".[7][8] The first release of the song came during the Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona, Spain on May 31, 2017. At the festival, a limited edition orange 12" vinyl single was made for sale at a merchandise stand. "Everything Now" acted as the A-side and its instrumental acted as the B-side.[9][10] Digital versions of the song were released on the following day.[11] On June 9, the 12" single became available again at record stores in the United States[12] and United Kingdom.[13]

Music video

A music video for "Everything Now" was released on June 1, 2017 through YouTube.[14] It was directed by The Sacred Egg and shot in Los Angeles.
