With Simple Plan’s new single “The Antidote” picking up hype on playlists all around the world, the band decided to reveal a little bit more from the making of this song by releasing a video footage from the behind the scenes of recording this song in the studio in California back in the summer of 2019.
In case you missed it on Friday, thanks to our reader Sophie (@sophie_music05) you can now watch the full livestream that Simple Plan recently did on Instagram live on November 5th to celebrate the release of their new single “The Antidote”.
And in case you don’t have extra 35 minutes to watch it all right now, here’s a short recap of any important or interesting information we’ve learned in this livestream:
the guys discusses the behind the scenes of Jeff’s solo in “The Antidote” – turns out it wasn’t just Jeff playing it, but Pierre was controlling the pitch pedal to create the final crazy sound of the solo
there will be a music video for The Antidote, the guys have already chosen a director and are about to figure out the details of when it’s going to be filmed
Chuck confirmed that the music video for The Antidote will feature their actual fans in some way
Simple Plan’s official fanclub the SP Crew is currently under reconstruction, it will be back again: changed, but better
due to covid, soundchecks and VIP parties for the foreseeable future won’t be taking place, but as soon as the situation is better again, the guys want to reinstall these special fan meet-ups with the band too
to some extent, the album will have similar vibes as The Antidote, the songs are mostly classic Simple Plan but with a modern vibe to them
the fans can expect some collabs on the new album – the band is working on them right now
Simple Plan will make it up to their U.S. fans after the canceled tour – they are planning a new U.S. tour hopefully for spring/summer 2022
You all have been patient enough. It has been almost 2 years since the last time we got to hear a new Simple Plan song and over 5 years since the last album came out. But today is the day! Let us introduce you to Simple Plan’s first song off their upcoming (yet untitled) album called “The Antidote”. Check it out below:
We’ve also already figured out the lyrics for you, so you don’t have to. Check them out, feel free to sing-along and let us know what you think of the song in the comments below or on our social media:
The Antidote
Caught up in a life that I wish I could erase
I wanna disappear, wanna leave without a trace
I’m looking in the mirror but I can’t see through the pain
So I take another pill and I hope it goes away
Cause my broken pieces
Don’t fit in
Everytime I feel alone
Like the walls are caving in,
Like I never win,
Like it’s crawling under my skin
You’re the antidote
Even when it hurts the most
And I’m trying to find a way
But there’s no escape
Like a poison filling my veins
You’re the antidote
You’re the antidote
How do I go on when my dreams are ripped and torn
I’m tired and I don’t wanna fake it anymore
When it’s all too much and I feel like I’m about to break
You always come around and the darkness fades way, fades away
Everytime I feel alone
Like the walls are caving in,
Like I never win,
Like it’s crawling under my skin
You’re the antidote
Even when it hurts the most
And I’m trying to find a way
But there’s no escape
Like a poison filling my veins
You’re the antidote
You’re the antidote
You’re the antidote
Everytime I feel alone
Like the walls are caving in,
Like I never win,
Like it’s crawling under my skin
You’re the antidote
Even when it hurts the most
And I’m trying to find a way
But there’s no escape
Like a poison filling in my veins
You’re the antidote
oh oh oh oh
You’re the antidote
oh oh oh oh
You’re the antidote
You’re the antidote
You’re the antidote
Last night, Simple Plan and Papa Roach hosted a TikTok Live, where in the pre-recorded session, the two bands (Simple Plan represented by Pierre on stage and Chuck fangirling in the crowd), performed a few songs from each of the bands’ catalogues. We will delve into the content of the entire stream in our next post, but in this one we want to highlight the main surprise of the stream and that is the first preview of the brand new Simple Plan song “The Antidote”, which is coming out on November 5th.
Pierre decided to treat the fans listening in by singing one verse and the entire chorus of “The Antidote” live. And if you missed it, thanks to our reader Lora who managed to capture it on video, you can now listen to it too. Not to mention you can also already sing along. Under the video you can find the lyrics of the already revealed preview of the song:
Caught up in a life that I wish I could erase I wanna disappear, wanna leave without a trace I’m looking in the mirror but I can’t see through the pain So I take another pill and I hope it goes away
Cause my broken pieces Don’t fit in
Everytime I feel alone Like the walls are caving in, Like I never win, Like it’s crawling under my skin You’re the antidote And even when it hurts the most And I’m trying to find a way But there’s no escape Like a poison feel in my veins You’re the antidote You’re the antidote You’re the antidote
In the stream, Jacoby Shaddix from Papa Roach asked Pierre what inspired the song. This is what Pierre said about the song’s meaning:
“We were just thinking about how, sometimes our fans talk to us through the years and saying how much music means so much to them and you realize how much people struggle with different things in life. And when you find something – for some of our fans it’s been our music, for some people it’s like finding a relationship, finding someone you love, finding something that can help you get through, you know.. that becomes your antidote. So the song’s about just having a really hard time. You know, for me I think about my wife and kids and that’s my antidote, that’s what makes it all make sense!
– Pierre Bouvier [live on TikTok] –
