At midnight all across the world, Simple Plan, State Champs and We The Kings released a collaborative song called ‘Where I Belong’. The sound of this new pop-punk track brings us vibes of Simple Plan more hard-hitting side – especially the one we can find on similar songs such as Opinion Overload. It was written as a collaborative project between Andrew Goldstein, Chuck Comeau, Pierre Bouvier, Derek DiScanio (State Champs) and Zachary Joseph.
As we’re mentioned previously, this is a collaborative song, and as such it features many interesting surprises. Obviously we can find all members of Simple Plan doind their usual jobs, but besides them, there’s some other additional musicians putting a little bit of their own talent to the song. The gang vocals for instance, beside Pierre, Seb and David also include Andrew Goldstein (singer, songwriter, producer – who also co-wrote the song), Chady Awad (Simple Plan’s photographer & videographer) and Zakk Cervini (producer and mixer of the song). Beside’s Pierre’s vocals, we can also clearly hear Derek DiScanio’s (State Champs’ lead singer) voice on half the track and Travis Clark (We The Kings’ lead singer) also lent his voice to the song. And finally, besides Chuck’s drum tracks, the song also features some additional drums by Ilan Rubin, the drummer for Nine Inch Nails and Angels & Airwaves.
Check out the song and its lyrics below and make sure to let us know in the comments what you think!
Everything looks the same
There’s nothing but broken streetlights
And I’m just trying to escape
I’m waiting on a distant feeling
I’m waiting for things to chance
It’s getting hard to ride on empty
But maybe I’m not so far away
‘Cause it feels like home
And suddenly I’m not so alone
I’m finally breathing
Like I never could on my own
Start the countdown, let’s get it on
Scream our lungs out to our favorite song
‘Cause this is where I belong
(This is where I belong)
And that you’ll never understand
I’m sorry that I can’t be perfect
But I’m not changing who I am
Maybe there’s no destination
Maybe I’m gonna make mistakes
Let you in on one of my secrets
I’m still just as lost as yesterday
But it feels like home
And suddenly I’m not so alone
I’m finally breathing
Like I never could on my own
Start the countdown, let’s get it on
Scream our lungs out to our favorite song
‘Cause this is where I belong
The same ones that told me
“Yeah, you can’t turn back and run
Play it safe before you come undone”
This view is worth it
Can’t believe me when I say
There’s no place in this world I’d rather be
And suddenly I’m not so alone
I’m finally breathing
Like I never could on my own
Start the countdown, let’s get it on
Scream our lungs out to our favorite song
‘Cause this is where I belong
And suddenly I’m not so alone
I’m finally breathing (I’m finally breathing)
Like I never could on my own
Start the countdown, let’s get it on
Scream our lungs out to our favorite song (favorite song)
‘Cause this is where I belong
(‘Cause this is where I belong)
‘Cause this is where I belong
