Waterparks

Waterpark’s frontman & lyricist, Awsten Knight, first played the song through the 2nd chorus during an Instagram livestream on April 10th. The song follows a fast drum beat and clean, minor key guitar riff.

Awsten also made it very clear in the livestream he leaked the song because he was no longer “able to get in trouble for it”, indicating Waterparks is no longer under contract with Equal Vision Records.

This is the first new music since their sophomore album Entertainment, and since following Awsten’s falling out with his ex-girlfriend Ciara Hanna, who Entertainment was largely written as a love letter to. As a result the lyrical themes largely revolve around anger & broken romance.

The song was leaked at the culmination of widespread fan speculation regarding their 3rd album. (Read the album bio for more info)

Awsten finished the livestream saying “Happy 103rd day.” The 103rd day of 2019 is April 13th, which is a Saturday, lining up with the “Saturday 7PM” teaser, fueling speculation that the single would be released that day, however despite that, it didn’t happen. Over a month later, the song was finally released on May 23rd with Hopeless Records.
