WATCH: 'When I Wasn't Watching,' Mandy Moore's long-awaited comeback single

Mandy Moore is back with a brand new single titled When I Wasn’t Watching, and it’s her first in more than a decade.

The 35-year-old’s last single, I Could Break Your Heart Any Day of the Week, dropped in 2009, following the release of her last studio album, Amanda Leigh (2009).

Earlier this year, as a surprise to many of her fans, the actress-singer revealed that she was in the studio working on brand new music, during an appearance on the Busy Tonight show.

Moore shared a lengthy Instagram post sharing some thoughts on her new single.

“I’m thrilled to share the first track from my forthcoming record. It’s been a bit of a winding road to get here but so worth it. More to come,” she said.

During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Moore told the host: “I am dipping my toe back in as we speak. I’ve just started writing.”

“I live with a songwriter so music is this sort of constant thread in our house,” she added. “We write together and we sing together, maybe we will (perform together). I sing on his (Goldsmith’s) records and I want him to come play on my records.”
