Muse - Won't Stand Down

"Won't Stand Down" (stylized in all uppercase) is a song by English rock band MUSE, it's the return of the band, the first new track in nearly four years. Released as a single on 13 January 2022, it is the first single from their as-of-yet-untitled upcoming ninth studio album.

On 25 December 2021, MUSE lead singer and guitarist Matt Bellamy held a brief livestream on the official MUSE Instagram account. In the video, he can be seen driving his Tesla on Autopilot mode, with his 10-year-old son Bing in the passenger seat. The pair are listening (and, in Bing's case, headbanging) to a then-unreleased MUSE song, entitled "Won't Stand Down" on the car stereo screen, while Matt provides occasional commentary over the track. In total, the livestream previewed a roughly one-minute-long section of the song. MUSE's own Instagram account hinted towards the release of a new single in a post on 31 December, initially uploaded with the caption "Looking forward to WSD. We'll see you on the other side!" before "WSD" was changed to "2022" after a few minutes.

According to vocalist and guitarist Matt Bellamy, "'Won't Stand Down' is a song about standing your ground against bullies, whether that be on the playground, at work or anywhere."

The digital artwork for "Won't Stand Down" was described as "dark and ominous", featuring a hooded priest-like figure hovering over ten disciples, figures wearing digital-style masks and gothic chandeliers. The video for “Won’t Stand Down” was directed by Jared Hogan and filmed in Kiev, Ukraine. While the new single didn’t arrive with the announcement of a new Muse LP, a release promises that the band is “currently working on more new music.”

Today's tune "Won't Stand Down", taken from the upcoming album, the song is the heaviest material yet by the band.
