The Scottish indie pop group dropped the music video for their new track “If They’re Shooting at You,” from their upcoming 11th studio albumA Bit of Previouson Thursday, showcasing images both heartbreaking and uplifting of Ukrainians living life amid Russia’s invasion.

The septet also pledged all proceeds from the song toRed Cross, while urging fans to donate to the organization’s efforts for Ukraine viaBandcamp. There, the U.K. government will match proceeds until March 18 through a joint appeal with the Disasters Emergency Committee.

“When the situation in Ukraine first started to happen it became clear that the lives of the people there, and probably ‘ours’ too, were never going to be the same,” frontman Stuart Murdoch said in astatement. “The band had just started rolling out tracks for our new album, and it all felt a bit silly to be honest. We had one track called ‘If They’re Shooting At You,’ it’s a song about being lost, broken and under threat of violence.”

“The key line is ‘if they’re shooting at you, kid, you must be doing something right.’ We stand in solidarity with the people of Ukraine and hope that their pain and suffering can be brought to a halt as soon as possible. We got in touch with various photographers and creatives in Ukraine and they generously said that we could put their pictures to music. In creating this, we aspire to show a hopeful, defiant side, as well as bringing an awareness to the plight of the people there,” he continued.

“We think any way in which we can get behind Ukraine — politically, culturally, practically, spiritually — it must all add up in the end. Together we have to do what it takes to help Ukraine beat this tyranny,” Murdoch added.
