Mike Shinoda has released a brand-new single and video, About You, featuring blackbear.

The track is taken from Mike's debut solo album, Post Traumatic, which will be out on June 15 via Warner Bros. Records.

"A lot of the early stuff on this album was about what had happened, and about Chester and all that, and then I started trying to write some songs that weren't about Chester, and weren't about that whole thing," Mike tells Beats 1 about his new single. "And I realised that people would hear them as if they were about him. And I was like, 'Man, even when I try and write a song that's not about him, it still feels like it's about him!'"
