== Description ==
 
On December 25th, 2021, Bellamy made a short livestream from his Tesla on Muse's Instagram profile, showcasing part of the verse of this song, the chorus and a metalcore breakdown. The name of the track, shown on the car's dashboard screen, displayed a number prefix of "04", meaning it's likely the fourth track on the album. The 60 second stream was screen-recorded by a few people, but copyright bots keep on deleting the posts, likely meaning that the song is approaching it's release date. The one minute excerpt from Bellamy's stream currently can be listened to [https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/romrcw/full_60_second_preview_of_new_song_wont_stand/ here].
 
The nearing release of the song was teased once again on Muse's New Years Eve post on Instagram, when a caption saying "Looking forward to WSD. We'll see you on the other side!" was quickly changed upon posting, replacing "WSD" with "2022".

== Instrumentation ==
 
For what it can be heard on the tease, it seems like one of the heaviest, if not the heaviest one, song that Muse have ever done (at least that section). It includes a heavy distorted guitar breakdown, something that rarely occurs through Muse's discography. This could mean a return to a harder sound from the band, at least in this song, also including some electronic elements like those that can also be heard in the fragment.

Information

The first single off of Will of the People, announced on January 7th, 2022 on Muse's social media[2], after being streamed by Bellamy on Muse's Instagram on December 25th, 2021. The single was released on January 13th, at 3PM, GMT, on all streaming platforms (Spotify, Deezer, iTunes), together with it's music video.[3] This is the first single from the upcoming album.

The song reached number 1 at the Official Charts Company's rock and metal charts, 13 on Billboard's Rock & Alternative Airplay charts, and it reached the peak position of number 56 on the Official Charts Company's general singles charts.[4] Additionally, it peaked at number 2 on the Worldwide iTunes Song Chart.[5]

Cover Art

The creator of the cover art is still unknown, but the aesthetic is very reminiscent of English alternative metal band Sleep Token. The album monogram, "WOTP", made its first appearance on this artwork. The monogram logo also makes subtle appearances throughout the music video itself, being on costumes and appearing as a car emblem, and also makes appearances throughout the entire album release process, including the Compliance promotional photos and the presumed album artwork.

Similar to the blacked-out eyes during the Drones promotional being turned into a filter for Snapchat, the mask of the cult leader, which appears on the cover has been made into an Instagram filter, released on January 9th.[6]
