Waterparks have unleashed explosive single ‘If Lyrics Were Confidential’, a scorching 90’s hip-hop inspired track taking aim at toxic fandom.
Debuted live during the band’s main stage performance at Reading & Leeds Festival, it follows their return with anthemic single ‘Red Guitar’ earlier this year.
On the track, Awsten Knight has shared:
“A lot of the songs on the next Waterparks album play with big, abstract concepts, and IF LYRICS WERE CONFIDENTIAL was one of those. The premise is exactly what it sounds like – things I’d get into if I didn’t think anyone would ever hear the song, which in my opinion is the best way to write. It’s how you get yourself to talk about the most personal and uncomfortable things. The lyrics brush through a lot of topics very quickly, all of which could probably be their own songs, but that’s also what makes it exciting.”
