Description
The song's title has been "officially" leaked on March 14th, 2022 via the JSON output from wontstanddown.muse.mu, which contains basic album info.
In a 2022 interview with Zane Lowe, Bellamy said that this track is "the best metal/prog track we've ever done, the best track that could've been on Drones.".[3] The metal-like song was further described in Warner Music's short album recap as having "industrial-tinged" and "granite heavy" guitar riffs.[4] This is likely the second heavy song, which Bellamy was talking about, in one of his Instagram stories, which uses a special drop B tuning on his guitar, like on Won't Stand Down.
Live
The song was first performed live on June 4th, 2022.
