The Veronicas have managed to pull off the near impossible this year — a comeback! — with their devastating power ballad, “You Ruin Me,” which rocketed to #1 on Australia’s ARIA charts.

But — there’s no time to waste! Jessica and Lisa are already ready to go with their newly mixed and mastered follow-up “If You Love Someone,” which just premiered on Australian radio show, Shazam Top 20. And, unlike “You Ruin Me,” they’re coming strong with a big uptempo pop banger.

The stomping, instantly catchy guitar-led pop cut sounds like a radio hit from the very beginning, full of sing-along friendly hooks (“If you love someone then tell them right now!“) and melodies that sound like they’ve been plucked from the tried-and-true pop songbook. (Is this a Dr. Luke production? Sounds like it.) While “You Ruin Me” was a bit too grim to be a smash outside of their home territory, this might just be their ticket to global domination. Listen to the radio premiere of “If You Love Someone” after the jump.
