Astley’s first song in six years, Keep Singing appears on his new album 50, which is named after the milestone age he hit in February.
Astley, 50, appeared on British talk show Lorraine Thursday and told host Amanda Holden that he quit music at 27 despite his success because he became disillusioned with the industry.

50 is set to be released on June 17.
