The official 30 seconds audio teaser was dropped at 2:30 am IST on TikTok and before any of us could hear it, it app crashed for like 15 minutes. The title track sounds very enchanting. The instrumentals are hard-hitting and it seems like this will be a foot-tapping number again. It sounds pretty like a marching anthem. The few seconds reveal a verse, "Can't hold me down cuz you know I'm a fighter." Well, this is truly exciting to know this song is a reflection of their lives and the past seven years. WE CAN WAIT FOR THE ALBUM TO DROP!

Hey na na na
If u don’t wanna go crazy, u gotta be crazy
Hey na na na
Throw all of me to the 2 sides of the world
Hey na na na
Can’t hold me down cuz u know I’m a fighter
The beautiful jail I entered w/ my own feet
Find me & I’m gonna live w/ ya
Bring it, bring the pain
