"Something New" is a song that Mykul [Lee (drums)] wrote in its entirety. This song is an anthem about not giving up on what we're doing, not letting anything get in our way, and rolling with the punches.

We want to get out and be heard and play music for lots of people. Some people give us the attitude that any success we gain is guaranteed to be the end of us right away. This song is about moving past the bull----, looking through the transparencies of people who only believe in you when you're huge, and promoting the preservation of your direction and purpose.
