We’ve already known for a while that Pierre and Chuck have been collaborating with the guys from the US band MKTO on some music but it has only now been announced that it is not in fact MKTO’s music that the band members have been working on – but yet another version of Simple Plan’s Summer Paradise – this time featuring MKTO and made specially for Simple Plan’s US fans!

You can check out the cover of this new single in the gallery and listen to the song on Buzznet.com.

The single of the MKTO version of Summer Paradise will be out on iTunes on May 28th.

We still have to wait on a confirmation if the music video that Pierre and Chuck recently filmed with MKTO in California is indeed for Summer Paradise – but so far it looks like it could really be it!

You may remember that almost a month ago, I informed you about the possibility of some new Simple Plan tracks coming our way since Simple Plan would be releasing a new special Japanese edition of their latest album “Get Your Heart On!”.
