The Cribs and Lee Ranaldo are back together again, 13 years later.

“Working with Lee on ‘Be Safe’ was without question one of the highlights of our career as a band, and we think that ‘I Don’t Know Who I Am’ is a worthy follow up collaboration,” The band said in a statement. “We are very proud of how it turned out. Lyrically, the song addresses the disconnect that Ryan and myself have always had with our biological paternal lineage – and how that may have shaped our views on masculinity, gender roles, and the men we ultimately grew up to be.”

“I Don’t Know Who I Am” serves as the latest single off The Cribs’ eighth album Night Network, which drops via Sonic Blew/[PIAS] on Nov. 13.
