The undisputed kings of pop punk from the early 2000's and 2010's are back- after all four guys turning 30 and deciding to shake some things up. All Time Low never fails to bring high energy and catchy lyrics with anything they release, but they have migrated away from their straight-up punky roots in the past several years, and towards a more pop-influenced style.

This single kicks off the 2020 era with clean pop production, but still includes their signature, prominent live drums and fun background vocals. Alex Gaskarth has a newfound love for throwing in many different vocal effects throughout a song, and it breaks up the sections of the song distinctly.

Honestly, I spent many years of my young life living and breathing for this band (and for Alex Gaskarth's vocals), so every new era that begins is bittersweet- they surely aren't the same band they were as 22 year olds, but the fact that they continue to produce music that us old fans can still jam to is wonderful.
