This song by Don Broco boldly pivots away from their pop-leaning side, putting intense heaviness front and center.

1 on the UK charts with their album “Amazing Things.” Released in July 2025, this track is their first single after moving to a major label and is said to symbolize a new chapter for the band.

With a star producer on board—who has also worked with Bring Me The Horizon—the sonic impact is absolutely devastating.

It’s the perfect song for when you want to unleash pent-up emotions or blast away your worries with heavy, punishing sound.
