John Mellencamp and Bruce Springsteen have teamed up for the first time with the new single Wasted Days.
The duo were dropped on Wednesday, alongside an official music video directed and produced by Springsteen collaborator and frequent archivist Thom Zimny.
Mellencamp and Springsteen filmed the video together in New Jersey earlier this month.

Wasted Days is the first single from Mellencamp’s upcoming album, set for release in 2022.
Meanwhile, Zimny meticulously edited footage from Springsteen & The E Street Band’s No Nukes Concert in 1979 for upcoming DVD and Blu-Ray release.
The film will premiere worldwide in November.
The boss, his band, and guests including Tom Petty, Bonnie Raitt, Carly Simon and Jackson Browne took to the stage at Madison Square Garden in New York City in September 1979 for the two-night show and the shows were filmed – but only clips of the images have been released, until now.
It will be released worldwide in high definition for digital download on November 16, and the set will debut in physical formats three days later, with sets available on CD, vinyl, DVD and Blu-Ray.
“It’s the biggest document from that era we’ve ever had,” longtime Springsteen manager and record producer Jon Landau told Billboard.
The movie No Nukes was edited by Zimny from the original 16mm footage.
