Los Angeles’ Make Out Monday return with Back to the Feeling, a track that’s part nostalgic reverie, part pop-punk anthem. It’s a song built on the tension between longing and exhilaration, tapping into memories we can’t recapture while urging us to celebrate the present.
The track’s origins are modest—an acoustic riff from Seth Renken—but it expands into a full-bodied production, guided by Zack Shada’s soaring vocals. His lyricism hits a universal chord, evoking the bittersweet pangs of memories that linger longer than they should.
Odom and Mount’s production layers shimmering synths over driving guitars, with percussion that propels the track forward without ever overwhelming its reflective tone. The result is both polished and emotionally resonant.
Themes of nostalgia and hope intermingle, creating a song that mourns the past yet insists on joy. Shada’s comment that it’s about “trying to return to a time, place, or feeling you can’t get back to” is reflected in every melodic and harmonic choice, producing a track that feels intimate and expansive simultaneously.
Back to the Feeling confirms Make Out Monday’s growing prowess. It’s an anthem for remembering without regret, a sparkling addition to the alt-pop canon, and a demonstration of why the band continues to command attention globally.
