Timothy B. Schmit has released “Cross That Line,” a new song that addresses the MeToo Movement along with Donald Trump’s ego. Written by Schmit, “Cross That Line” is the first song from a new album he has been recording since the Eagles’ “Hotel California Tour” was paused in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I’ve had this song in my back pocket for almost a year now, and I’m not sure why I’ve waited so long to release it. Then it became clear to me about two weeks ago that now is, indeed, the time. There is nothing else I can say about this piece other than the song speaks for itself.”
