Pulp have released a new song, \u201cBegging for Change.\u201d It\u2019s the latest single off War Child UK\u2019s charity album Help(2)<\/em>, which is due out March 6. The track was recorded while the British band was working on their 2025 album, More<\/em>. Listen to it below.<\/p>\n

The original Help<\/em> album was released in 1995, featuring Oasis, Paul McCartney, Radiohead, and more. The record raised \u00a31.25 million for children affected by the Bosnian conflict.\u00a0The following year, War Child and Pulp were both up for a Mercury Prize. Although Pulp won, the band decided to donate their prize money to the organization. \u201cThirty years ago we gave our Mercury Prize (and the prize money) to War Child,\u201d frontman Jarvis Cocker said in a recent press release. \u201cThis year we have given more. How much more? You\u2019ll have to wait and see\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
