Following from the critical success that was “Misadventures”, Pierce The Veil spent the last 4 years writing and recording a new album. Rising in popularity again in 2022, Pierce The Veil shared that their song King For A Day had reached #1 on the Billboard Hard Rock Streaming Charts.

It is the band’s first song to not feature drummer Mike Fuentes who had departed the band in 2017 due to sexual misconduct allegations. It was teased through calling a telephone line published on the band’s social media on August 31st 2022.

Vic Fuentes has described the song as an anthem for today’s youth:.

“"Pass the Nirvana” is about the many horrible traumas that the youth of America have endured over the past few years. COVID, no proms, no graduations, an insurrection, school shootings. The list goes on. Their lives have been tossed around like clothes in a dryer, as the tensions within our country have infiltrated our own homes, friends, and families. To me, the song represents a euphoric detachment from all of that anxiety and stress and about finding some form of peace or nirvana."
