"Delete" is the first single from Story Untold's debut album as Story Untold rather than Amasic.

Lead vocalist Janick Thibault stated, "Delete is a song that means a lot to me. It's about not wanting to let go of a relationship. Every time you try to do it, you're reminded of the good times. It's like you're stuck in the past but at the same time you know that things will never be the same again. I think many of us can relate to this song because it's always hard to convince yourself that some things are meant to be let go." [1]

The song was first played live during a Facebook live stream.

An acoustic version of the song was released by Hopeless Records.

Thibault confirmed in a track-by-track review of the album that the song was originally intended for the band 5 Seconds of Summer.

<i>David Bowie</i> (1967 album) 1967 studio album by David Bowie

David Bowie is the self-titled debut studio album by English musician David Bowie. It was released in the UK on 1 June 1967 with Deram Records. Its style and content is often said to bear little overt resemblance to the type of music that he was later known for, such as the folk rock influenced "Space Oddity" or the glam rock of The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. NME critics Roy Carr and Charles Shaar Murray have said, "a listener strictly accustomed to David Bowie in his assorted '70s guises would probably find this debut album either shocking or else simply quaint", while biographer David Buckley describes its status in the Bowie discography as "the vinyl equivalent of the madwoman in the attic". Nicholas Pegg contends that "it seems a pity that David Bowie is only ever considered in terms of what we can extrapolate from it [...] Thankfully, it does seem that pop musicologists are at last beginning to regard David Bowie not just as a quirky set of embryonic twitterings, but as an album that's actually worth considering in its own right".

Simple Plan has known the five-piece for a while, and the French Canadians teamed up to write Story Untold's newest single "History". The song is about how the band is going to make it big, even if it seems like a crazy idea: "You can call me crazy/But when I close my eyes/I can see it clearly/I can see the shining lights." The song was co-penned with Simple Plan's vocalist Pierre Bouvier and drummer Chuck Comeau. The song is just one of seven songs on the band's self-titled EP. History also has a music video where the band is a part of an underground fight club.
