A setlist of the old and the new
"You've Got to Have Love" has its roots in a late 1999 demo, intended for their 2001 album, We Love Life.

It features a catchy girl group chorus reminiscent of '60s Phil Spector's style. Pulp performed this song live for the very first time at their Brooklyn show.

Their setlist included a variety of classics such as "Disco 2000" and "Common People", which appeared in the first encore.

The band also paid tribute to former bassist Steve Mackey, who passed away last March 2023.
What the future holds
Pulp's performances have sparked speculation about new material, including a possible full-length album release.

Drummer Nick Banks downplayed hopes of new music last October, saying their reunion gigs were "more about getting the party back".

Jarvis Cocker has been spotted working on new songs in recent months, fueling expectations for fresh Pulp content.

Pulp has recently solidified their plans for live shows in 2025, which will include a performance at the highly anticipated Rockin' On Sonic festival in Japan, as well as other yet-to-be-announced events.

Fans are anxiously anticipating any potential release of the newly debuted song "You've Got to Have Love" or other unreleased tracks that have been showcased during the band's recent live performances which were enjoyed by watchers.

It's been more than twenty years since Pulp released a complete album of new songs and fans are eagerly waiting for new works to be released by the band.

It's quite an old song but we never finished it, Hopefully we have now.
