Make Out Monday Drops New Single 'Back to the Feeling'

Make Out Monday have long navigated the intersection of alt-pop and pop punk, and Back to the Feeling sees them refining this hybrid with poise. There’s a cinematic quality to the song, a wistful lens that captures both joy and regret simultaneously.

The origins of the track are humble—a single acoustic riff—but it quickly swells into something expansive. Shada’s vocal delivery is emotive yet controlled, weaving a narrative that is personal without feeling insular. The lyrics tap into a universal longing for moments lost but not forgotten.

Production is key here. The Odom-Mount partnership results in a track that feels meticulously layered. Synth flourishes, nuanced guitar lines, and a drum pattern that drives yet never dominates make the song immersive from start to finish.

What sets this track apart is its duality: a song that mourns the past while propelling you forward. There’s an optimism threaded through the melancholy, a pop sensibility that refuses to wallow while still honoring reflection.

Back to the Feeling is a statement from Make Out Monday: they can be nostalgic without being retrograde, heartfelt without being saccharine. It’s a song that lingers in the mind, a shimmering testament to the power of memory and melody.
