== Description ==
Title track off of the album [[Will of the People (album)|Will of the People]]. The song's name has been "officially" leaked on March 14th, 2022 via the JSON output from [https://wontstanddown.muse.mu/api/v1/catalogue/new/ wontstanddown.muse.mu], which contains basic album info. In late May of 2022, Apple Music began showing the track length of the song in the album playlist, while Amazon set up a release date of June the 1st. The song itself got leaked on May 26th, 2022, while the official release date of the single, being June 1st, was announced a day later.
Will Of The People has previously been teased by Muse through a couple of short clips, on [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzHnwHzp9o4 YouTube] and [https://www.instagram.com/p/CbLgvvBqtzI/ Instagram], revealing the album's name. Upon the album announcement, Warner described it as a track that "''brings playful provocation to a dystopian glam-rocker''"<ref>https://themusicuniverse.com/muse-announces-will-people/</ref>
In the words of Matt Bellamy, "''"Will of the People" is fictional story set in a fictional metaverse on a fictional planet ruled by a fictional authoritarian state run by a fictional algorithm manifested by a fictional data centre running a fictional bank printing a fictional currency controlling a fictional population occupying a fictional city containing a fictional apartment where a fictional man woke up one day and thought "fuck this."''"<ref>https://www.muse.mu/news/will-people-322606</ref>
== Instrumentation ==
The track starts out with a looping choir, built up of layers of chanting the line "The Will of the People". The same loop appears throughout the song. The track itself is based around guitar, bass and drums, with some guitar-synth layering, which is especially noticeable during the last part. The song also features heavy use of roto-toms during the bridge part. It also features a lot of "ooh"s and "woah"s throughout the song, aswel as a high-pitched scream, at around 2 minutes and 42 seconds. The choir consists of around 150 audio tracks, all of which were put together in remote, due to all the lockdowns throughout the pandemic.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CeRBJolg96L/</ref>
Stylistically, the song is reminiscent of songs such as [[Uprising (song)|Uprising]], [[Psycho (song)|Psycho]] and [[Supermassive Black Hole (song)|Supermassive Black Hole]], featuring a similar swing-rhythm and elements of glam-rock. The looping choir has been compared to "The Beautiful People" by Marilyn Manson and the songs structure has been compared to that of Green Day. It's also been compared to [[Pressure (song)|Pressure]] and [[New Kind of Kick (song)|New Kind of Kick]], having the same "rock'n'roll" feel with the saturated vocals. The song runs in A-Major and at a tempo of 130BPM.
The rough layout of the [[Riffs_and_jams#Early_Will_of_the_People|riff, which appears in the pre-chorus of the song]], extends all the way back to 2019, when it was played by Matt as an improv riff after [[Unsustainable (song)|Unsustainable]], during the [[Simulation Theory World Tour|Simulation Theory Tour]].
== Music Video ==
Like the song itself, the music video was also used in the teaser, following the album reveal in March of 2022. The video itself tells the story of how the heads got torn down during a riot, which can be seen on the album artwork.

== Trivia ==
Following the release of the music video, Muse posted the official lyrics under the YouTube video, but similar to other lyrical mistakes in the past (such as the various misprints in the Origin of Symmetry sleeve notes), the official lyrics contain two error. A line from the first verse is written as “''Don't need a goon to flirt with devotion''”, when Matt sings ”Don't need a gun to flirt with devotion”<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/v3wydc/are_these_the_real_lyrics_or_did_apple_music/ib2fui1/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3</ref>, while a line from the second verse is listed as “''we’re gonna smash this nation to pieces''” when it’s in fact “''your nation''”.


First announced show of 2022, part of the [[Will of the People Summer Festivals Tour]].
== Live ==


== Information ==
Performed live as an intro to the shows, it features a slightly extended guitar chugging intro. It was first performed live on [[Nürburg Nürburgring 2022 (gig)‎‎|June 4th, 2022]].


This gig was announced on 27th of April, 2020 by both the festival and Muse themselves<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/COKfs5ZBeyA/</ref>, after the 2021 edition of Nova Rock Festival was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. The major difference between the '21 and this edition is the headliners; With only Muse remaining the same headliner, compared to the 2021 edition. They were headlining Nova Rock 2022 together with [[Placebo]], Krafktlub, Five Finger Death Punch and Volbeat. This gig marks the first time Muse played the Nova Rock festival in its 17 years of existance.

The gig was streamed on Nova Rock Festival's official YouTube channel [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlV6FiDX8Jw here] (available for a few hours). The broadcast featured some very questionable mixing with the crowd mics being almost entirely muted, leading to several awkward moments where Matt would ask the crowd to sing, only to be greeted with near silence on the broadcast.

Description

Title track off of the album Will of the People. The song's name has been "officially" leaked on March 14th, 2022 via the JSON output from wontstanddown.muse.mu, which contains basic album info. In late May of 2022, Apple Music began showing the track length of the song in the album playlist, while Amazon set up a release date of June the 1st. The song itself got leaked on May 26th, 2022, while the official release date of the single, being June 1st, was announced a day later.

Will Of The People has previously been teased by Muse through a couple of short clips, on YouTube and Instagram, revealing the album's name. Upon the album announcement, Warner described it as a track that "brings playful provocation to a dystopian glam-rocker"[2]

In the words of Matt Bellamy, ""Will of the People" is fictional story set in a fictional metaverse on a fictional planet ruled by a fictional authoritarian state run by a fictional algorithm manifested by a fictional data centre running a fictional bank printing a fictional currency controlling a fictional population occupying a fictional city containing a fictional apartment where a fictional man woke up one day and thought "fuck this.""[3]

Instrumentation

The track starts out with a looping choir, built up of layers of chanting the line "The Will of the People". The same loop appears throughout the song. The track itself is based around guitar, bass and drums, with some guitar-synth layering, which is especially noticeable during the last part. The song also features heavy use of roto-toms during the bridge part. It also features a lot of "ooh"s and "woah"s throughout the song, aswel as a high-pitched scream, at around 2 minutes and 42 seconds. The choir consists of around 150 audio tracks, all of which were put together in remote, due to all the lockdowns throughout the pandemic.[4]

Stylistically, the song is reminiscent of songs such as Uprising, Psycho and Supermassive Black Hole, featuring a similar swing-rhythm and elements of glam-rock. The looping choir has been compared to "The Beautiful People" by Marilyn Manson and the songs structure has been compared to that of Green Day. It's also been compared to Pressure and New Kind of Kick, having the same "rock'n'roll" feel with the saturated vocals. The song runs in A-Major and at a tempo of 130BPM.

The rough layout of the riff, which appears in the pre-chorus of the song, extends all the way back to 2019, when it was played by Matt as an improv riff after Unsustainable, during the Simulation Theory Tour.

Music Video

Like the song itself, the music video was also used in the teaser, following the album reveal in March of 2022. The video itself tells the story of how the heads got torn down during a riot, which can be seen on the album artwork.

Trivia

Following the release of the music video, Muse posted the official lyrics under the YouTube video, but similar to other lyrical mistakes in the past (such as the various misprints in the Origin of Symmetry sleeve notes), the official lyrics contain two error. A line from the first verse is written as “Don't need a goon to flirt with devotion”, when Matt sings ”Don't need a gun to flirt with devotion”[5], while a line from the second verse is listed as “we’re gonna smash this nation to pieces” when it’s in fact “your nation”.

Live

Performed live as an intro to the shows, it features a slightly extended guitar chugging intro. It was first performed live on June 4th, 2022.
