Gossip is the fifth studio album by American rock band Sleeping with Sirens. The album was released on September 22, 2017, through Warner Bros. Records and follows the band's fourth studio album Madness (2015). It is the first release since the band's departure from Epitaph Records. The lead single, "Legends", was released on July 14, 2017.

Sound and influence

Instrumentally, Sleeping with Sirens have strived toward a more pop-influenced sound and have departed from their post-hardcore style seen in the band's previous studio albums. In an interview with radio station 106.7 KROQ, Kellin Quinn spoke about the album's recording sessions. "Legends is one of the first songs that clicked when we started writing this record," recalls Quinn. "We started coming up with the music and it had such an epic sound to it. The hook kinda just came to me. I was thinking about everything we've been through as a band and the road that we’re trying to travel – and everything that you want to try to do in your life simply as a human being – the lyric, 'We could be legends after all' is something that makes a lot of sense because nothing's guaranteed in life but if you put forth the work and the effort and you try as hard as you can and you follow your dreams then maybe you can make something really awesome happen with your life. That's basically the idea behind the song."
