The album consists of latest single “Take Me With You,” the alien-themed track that nods not simply at blink-182’s model of pop punk but in addition Tom DeLonge’s extraterrestrial obsessions, their February single “Heartbreak of the Century,” and it additionally consists of the just-released “It Gained’t Be Like This Ceaselessly.” This one’s one other pop-punk sugar rush, and right here’s what Ben says about it:
“It Gained’t Be Like This Ceaselessly” got here round actually simply and naturally. We wrote the refrain simply by likelihood whereas engaged on one other track and it ended up being our favourite track on the file. We wrote it the primary time we acquired collectively after covid, down in Wales. I suppose on the time we had been pondering that ‘it gained’t be like this without end’ (guess we had been proper) however as time has gone on the world has been introduced with an entire slew of different issues and so it’s maintained its relevance. You possibly can view it by that lens or you’ll be able to zoom in and make it extra private, which I ended up doing. That means that the robust instances don’t all the time final and having somebody that will help you by these instances is a good looking a part of life and love. It’s a love track, a hope track, and a self-improvement track multi functional!
