Attentive Billy Joel fans may have noticed a change in the Piano Man’s online presence.

The phrase “Did I wait too long…” appears in a new background on the acclaimed singer’s Facebook account. The same phrase also appears behind his top songs on Spotify and on his X account (formerly Twitter).

The cryptic message has fan’s buzzing about possible new material. The wait for new music from Joel has indeed been long. The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer hasn’t released any tunes since he put out two singles – “All My Life” and “Christmas In Fallujah” – in 2007. River of Dreams, his last full length studio album of original material, came out in 1993.

Joel’s new message is just the latest move by the singer as he ramps up his presence on social media. According to Stereogum, the Piano Man launched his TikTok account in December. The first post featured concert footage in which Joel alluded to new music.

The good news is you don’t have to sit through something you have no idea what it is! Although … we got a little something we’re working on you might hear some time.”
