"Drugs" is a song by American rock band Falling in Reverse featuring American singer and composer Corey Taylor. It was released on April 8,2019,through Epitaph Records. [1] This is the band's third single without an album being announced,and is the culmination of the saga of the songs "Losing My Mind" and "Losing My Life". The song was produced by DangerKids vocalist Tyler Smyth and vocalist Ronnie Radke. The song also features Black Veil Brides drummer Christian "CC" Coma. [2]
In March 2019,the members of the band uploaded what would be the cover of the single on their social networks. On April 8,2019,the new single "Drugs" came out,a collaboration with Corey Taylor,lead vocalist of Slipknot and Stone Sour. [3] In addition,Black Veil Brides drummer Christan "CC" Coma contributed to the song. [2]
This song marks the departure of keyboardist and guitarist Zakk Sandler as he was not seen in the music video. [4] The band announced the "Episode III Tour" as the headlining band,alongside bands such as Ice Nine Kills,New Year's Day and From Ashes to New,as well as CC's participation in the tour. [5]
The song was composed by Ronnie Radke and written by himself and musicians/producers Charles Kallaghan Massabo and Wage War guitarist Cody Quistad. To begin with,Falling in Reverse's "Drugs" definitely has a hostile tone. And death –whether symbolic or literal –is one of its major themes. However,there is clearly an underlying,philosophical message behind the song. In other words,while the title of the track is “Drugs”,these substances in and of themselves are dealt with relatively-briefly. In the song Ronnie tries to explain how difficult it is to live trying to meet the expectations of others and society in general. [6]
Corey Taylor's part is the heaviest part of the song since Corey singing with gutturals sounds more like his voice in Slipknot than his voice in Stone Sour. [1]
The music video for the song was directed by Ethan Lader,the video shows Ronnie Radke continuing the battle against his other self. However,this time he fights against the Ronnie who was the protagonist of the music video for "Losing My Life",the video again has the participation of his daughter Willow Radke. [7] The music video has more than 30 million views on YouTube.
The track listing provided from the EP Drugs only released on Spotify. [8]
