There's a unique kind of magic that happens when we allow ourselves to be emotionally open, and Only on Weekends have captured that feeling brilliantly in their new single, "The Clock King."
Available now on all streaming platforms, "The Clock King" is an energetic pop anthem filled with emotion. It hits hard like a wave of self-doubt but is uplifted by catchy, upbeat guitar riffs. Produced by Fred Mascherino, formerly of Taking Back Sunday, and Stephen Angello, the song is both powerful and polished, perfect for blasting in your car while you sing along at the top of your lungs. "The Clock King" tackles the feeling of imposter syndrome, that nagging doubt that we don't deserve the good things in our lives. The band conveys this heavy emotion with a sincerity that feels both innocent and insightful, striking a balance between sounds and triumphant. Few artists can pull this off, but Only on Weekends does so with flair. Then there's that catchy guitar riff. A bold invitation to join the fun. It's lively and full of energy, reminiscent of classic pop-punk sounds but still fresh and unique. This riff draws you in before the lyrics even start, creating a sense of urgency that matches the song's themes of uncertainty and quiet worry. "The Clock King" embraces its anxious feelings and turns them into something enjoyable and even liberating. It captures the essence of late-night overthinking while encouraging listeners to let go, turn up the music, and remember that they're not alone in facing life's challenges.
With this release, Only on Weekends proves they have a knack for crafting personal yet anthemic songs. While "The Clock King" deals with fear and self-doubt, it ultimately sounds bold and empowering.
