"Evanescence have previewed their first single in four years, describing it as a song &amp;quot;about freedom&amp;quot;. &amp;#039;What You Want&amp;#039; will serve as the lead single from the band&amp;#039;s self-titled third album, which will be released on October 11. Lead singer Amy Lee told MTV News that the single grew out of a simple jamming session with her bandmates. &amp;quot;[Bassist] Tim [McCord] and [guitarist] Terry [Balsamo] and I wrote that song at my house in New York,&amp;quot; she explained. &amp;quot;We were just jamming, like, recording demos, and obviously the song has grown a lot since then, with everyone else. &amp;quot;For me, it was - and I need to remember this, so I can apply it in the future - it wasn&amp;#039;t trying so hard to be some epic, massive chorus. I was just doodling around on the piano and the guys were like, &amp;#039;Do that. Whatever you just did, that&amp;#039;s an awesome melody.&amp;#039; And I was like, &amp;#039;Really?&amp;#039; Sometimes you just need your friends to be like, &amp;#039;Do that!&amp;#039;&amp;quot; Listen to a preview of Evanescence&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;What You Want&amp;#039; below:    Speaking about the song&amp;#039;s meaning, she added: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s about freedom - that&amp;#039;s definitely a constant theme on the record - but, it&amp;#039;s like Evanescence, and me, and my relationship with the music and the fans, and coming to that [realization] of &amp;#039;This is what I&amp;#039;m supposed to do... I want to do this.&amp;#039; &amp;quot;And when it says, &amp;#039;Remember who you really are,&amp;#039; that&amp;#039;s exactly everything you could assume it means.&amp;quot; Evanescence&amp;#039;s record label Wind-Up Records also revealed that the track will get a full preview in August. The singer added that she hopes the band will be able to bring more rock to the charts and radio playlists. &amp;quot;I feel like, not that I&amp;#039;m trying to do what&amp;#039;s important for the music industry, I&amp;#039;m doing what I want - we&amp;#039;re doing what we love,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;But, at the same time, it&amp;#039;s so refreshing for us to play music that we want to hear. &amp;quot;It rocks, and not that there&amp;#039;s nothing going on that does, but less and less; that&amp;#039;s definitely not what&amp;#039;s dominating the airwaves. And it would be so amazing and it&amp;#039;s totally our dream to have that happen for us; not even just for us, but, like, we want to hear rock music again.&amp;quot; Lee had recently described their new album as &amp;quot;more fun&amp;quot;. She will also appear on a Muppets tribute album, with a cover version of &amp;#039;Halfway Down the Stairs&amp;#039;.
