The album consists of latest single “Take Me With You,” the alien-themed tune 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 Received’t Be Like This Eternally.” This one’s one other pop-punk sugar rush, and right here’s what Ben says about it:
“It Received’t Be Like This Eternally” got here round actually simply and naturally. We wrote the refrain simply by likelihood whereas engaged on one other tune and it ended up being our favourite tune on the report. We wrote it the primary time we received collectively after covid, down in Wales. I suppose on the time we have been considering that ‘it received’t be like this without end’ (guess we have been proper) however as time has gone on the world has been offered with an entire slew of different issues and so it’s maintained its relevance. You may view it by way of that lens or you possibly can zoom in and make it extra private, which I ended up doing. Which means that the powerful instances don’t at all times final and having somebody that can assist you by way of these instances is a gorgeous a part of life and love. It’s a love tune, a hope tune, and a self-improvement tune multi function!
