It’s included on their 2021 album ‘Case.’ The longer you stick with the same club or activity, the more you can do—not only that, it also becomes easier to find a compromise point and think, “This is fine.” But instead of drawing that line yourself, this song tells you, even once you’ve gotten pretty good, “You’ve still got room to grow.” When you’re stuck or feel like you’ve been slacking lately, why not use this song as a chance to face yourself again?
