As the trio of New York-born and bred brothers continue to grow in popularity, their release of the single “I Won’t” keeps the unique sound and message of being yourself that fans have grown to love them for. It marks the first original song following 2021’s OK ORCHESTRA and is the first release through Mercury Records, their first mainstream label.

“I Won’t” fuses the brothers' bright piano melodies and high dosage of both organic and synthesized strings with elements of punk, adding a rebellious nature to the overall tone. This contributes to the song’s message of “be yourself” that specifically targets Internet trends and the always-prevalent figures of authority. Ryan calls it their “own version of a punk ‘F-you’ song” that is intended to inspire others, but also themselves at the same time.

Like “Bummerland” and “Burn the House Down” before it, “I Won’t” debuted live before its official studio release as a single. It was first performed in full on April 28, 2022 at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory in Irving, TX, and was performed every night of the summer 2022 leg of THE OK ORCHESTRA TOUR.
