“Won’t Stand Down” is the comeback single by Muse released on January 13, 2022.
On December 26, 2021, Muse frontman Matt Bellamy revealed a snippet of this song on his Instagram Stories. “Won’t Stand Down” is notable for the dramatic change in sound, stepping back from pop motifs, and going back to their heavier roots. Having taken the ‘80s aesthetic to its Weird Science extreme on 2018’s "Simulation Theory", Bellamy told NME in 2020,
”I like the idea of totally resetting and going back to where we come from… as in, physically moving back to our hometown and getting back to how we used to be at square one”.
As always, Muse goes back to its most iconic elements; An internal uprising and revolution. There’s an internal and personal battle underway. Matt has become the victim of a “user and abuser” situation similar to Eurythmics' song, “Sweet Dreams”.
As for the style, you can find roots of Origin of Symmetry (especially their new anniversary album released in 2021) and Absolution leading up to their more recent albums "Resistance" and "Drones" vibes.
