“Throne” is the second official single released for That’s The Spirit. Keyboardist Jordan Fish told Rolling Stone that the song represents a completely new musical and emotional space for the band:

It’s one of the most simple and straightforward songs we did… Its got some elements we had on the last album [2013’s Sempiternal], with an up-tempo rhythm and really strong melodies. So it seemed like an obvious choice for the first single because it’s so immediately catchy and has such a good level of energy

The song reflects a more positive outlook on life than previous BMTH material. Fish states that this reflects the upcoming album’s theme.

Everyone has their own issues and anxieties, and mostly the new songs are about accepting them and trying to remain positive because there’s nothing else you can do.
