A brand new song "You Found Me" from The Fray has been unveiled through a 40-second video snippet. Featuring two of the band's members in the studio strumming their drums and guitar, the video gives out a preview of the song's instrumental sounds.

"You Found Me" is confirmed to appear as the band's first single off their self-titled sophomore studio album which is set for U.S. release on February 3, 2009. The song will be able for stream on their official website starting at 10. P.M. Thursday, November 20. On November 23, they will perform the new song live for the first time at 2008 American Music Awards which show airs on ABC starting at 8 P.M. EST.

In addition, a portion of "You Found Me" will be featured in a new "Lost" music clip on the same day it makes its world premiere, with live band performance footage and exclusive scenes from the upcoming season of "Lost". Meanwhile, the music video for the song will air during the show that starts 9:00 P.M. EST on ABC.

"Because this band appeals to everyone from 8 to 80, television really does play a great role in exposing the music to a wider audience," Lee Stimmel, the executive VP of Epic said on attaching the band's song to TV series. "And the band writes amazing songs that work with a picture."

Speaking of their new effort, the band's frontman Isaac Slade said that this is "a little more extreme than the last record," adding that "the quieter stuff is a little quieter than our last record and the rock stuff is a little rockier. It definitely spreads the spectrum a little bit."

Fans can begin to pre-order the deluxe edition of their new album by logging on to their official page starting at 10:00 P.M. EST on Thursday, November 20. A bonus live digital album during their upcoming January club tour, which will be delivered digitally on February 3, 2009, will be added as a bonus. In addition, upon pre-ordering the record, fans will also receive a code which gives a chance to purchase two tickets to one of their club shows in January.
