Make Out Monday releases new single ‘Back to the Feeling’

Make Out Monday’s Back to the Feeling is a sparkling alt-pop gem, blending 80s-inspired textures with punchy pop-punk dynamics. The track demonstrates a band comfortable with both reflection and energy, capable of crafting hooks that are as heartfelt as they are catchy.

What began as a stripped-back acoustic riff from Seth Renken blossoms into an anthem driven by Zack Shada’s soaring vocals. His lyricism, steeped in nostalgia, captures the ache of moments lost but not forgotten, while retaining a sense of optimism throughout.

Production by Odom and Mount is layered and nuanced. Synths shimmer alongside crisp guitars, and the percussion propels the track without overpowering its emotional core. Every element is in service of both melody and mood.

Thematically, Back to the Feeling resonates universally. It’s about longing for the irretrievable, yet embracing the joy in memory. This duality—melancholy and hope, past and present—is what gives the song depth beyond its infectious hooks.

Ultimately, Make Out Monday deliver a track that’s reflective, energetic, and immersive. Back to the Feeling is proof that nostalgia, when paired with craft and heart, can create an anthem that feels immediate, timeless, and utterly engaging.
