All Time Low, your favourite pop-punk quartet, are back with their latest single ‘Once in a Lifetime‘. This track features high-octane riffs, repetitive lyrics and a signature storytelling music video, directed by Max Moore.
The new track follows on from their latest album Wake Up Sunshine. ‘Once In A Lifetime’ is a song about love, luck, fate and loss: a testament to always live in the moment. Alex Gaskarth, vocalist and frontman stated: “The song is about loss and dealing with loss, facing harsh realities and coming out the other side stronger for it.”
Not unlike something you’d hear accompanying Netflix’s latest young adult movie, All Time Low’s latest track is upbeat and fun to listen to. Beginning with soft vocals and a steady beat, the chorus turns into a crescendo of sound with crashing drum beats, overflowing with a heavy bass line and rich guitar chords. Similarities between their previous single ‘Monsters’ and their latest track are glaringly obvious, with an almost evolutionary feel, crawling from a dark place and into the light.
Gaskarth said: “We wrote this song in bleaker times, in a world still asleep at the wheel that left us all relearning how to navigate the uncertain roads ahead, but ultimately there is a hopeful undertone to the entire sentiment. Things can only be so bad and once it’s over, it’s over; there’s room to start rebuilding. This song feels like it’s cut from the same cloth as ‘Monsters’: a progression and continued evolution from the celebration of All Time Low that was Wake Up, Sunshine.”
