| 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 one minute excerpt from Bellamy's stream 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", before being announced a week later, on January 7th, 2021, that the [[Won't Stand Down (single)|single]] would be released on January 13th on all digital platforms. The song can be pre-saved to Spotify, Deezer and Apple Music [https://wontstanddown.muse.mu/ here].

| Another 30 seconds of the song, which seems to be the first verse, were showcased via an Instagram stories filter on January 9th.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/rzos32/30_second_audio_of_wont_stand_down_if_you_try_out/</ref>

| | |
| Based on [[Aleks Von Korff]]'s picture posted on Instagram<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CYiXIHfrqOM/</ref>, the massive "bwah" parts of the bass guitar, which can be heard during the verses, were recorded using two wah pedals, attached together on the top with a wooden cutting board and some tape, so they can be controlled simultaneously, with the distortion recorded direct, as opposed through an amp, giving it a gnarly sound. They're also doubled with some synth bass.
| |
| | |
| == Instrumentation ==
| |
| | |
| A heavy song, the chorus is very reminiscent to the chorus of Lacrimosa's song 'Lichtgestalt', due the strings and its gothic-metal sound, and the Swedish band 'Ghost'.
| |
| | |
| From what it can be heard in the tease, it seems like one of the heaviest, if not the heaviest song that Muse have ever made (at least the preview section). It includes a heavy distorted guitar breakdown, something that rarely occurs through Muse's discography, as well as Dom using a double kick drum pedal. 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. Additionally, based on the latest preview from Instagram filters, the verse features a reggae-like guitar rhytm with a few synths and heavy bass.

| {{lyrics
| |
| |I never believed that I would concede
| |
| And let someone trample on me
| |
| You strung me along,
| |
| I thought I was strong
| |
| But you were just gaslighting me
| |
| I’ve opened my eyes and counted the lies
| |
| And now it is clearer to me
| |
| You are just a user and an abuser
| |
| Living vicariously
| |
| I never believed that I would concede
| |
| And get myself blown asunder
| |
| | |
| (...)
| |
| | |
| Now I'm coming back
| |
| To counterattack
| |
| A psychological war
| |
| | |
| I'm cutting you in
| |
| I'm under your skin
| |
| Now I'm gonna settle the score
| |
| | |
| I've opened my eyes
| |
| I see your disguise
| |
| And I will never see you the same
| |
| | |
| I know how to win
| |
| Before you begin
| |
| I'll shoot you before you take aim
| |
| | |
| Won't stand down
| |
| I'm growing stronger
| |
| Won't stand down
| |
| I'm owned no longer
| |
| Won't stand down
| |
| You've used me for too long
| |
| For too long
