LOS ANGELES, CA- This track is a banger. All Time Low’s latest single “Butterflies,” off their upcoming album Everyone’s Talking! (out October 17), is the kind of rock song that feels tailor-made to be shouted back at the band in a packed venue.
The chorus is the clincher: “So what’s the point of holding on / when letting go’s the only way you’re changing? / Stop waiting for the grass to grow, / you’re catching butterflies that ain’t worth chasing.” That hook is MASSIC. Part arena-sized rock, part cathartic release. It’s the sort of line that gets stuck in your head and makes you imagine the lights, the crowd, and the sweat of a live show.
Lyrically, “Butterflies” cuts deeper than its title suggests. The verses paint pictures of rumor mills and self-sabotage: gossip “at the dog park,” clinging to Hollywood daydreams, and waiting for a “discount Jesus Christ” to offer salvation. There’s sarcasm, bitterness, and a sense of disillusionment, all anchored by the repeated refrain that change only comes when you finally let go.
What makes the song work is the balance: raw, almost mocking imagery in the verses that blooms into a chorus you can’t help but belt out. It’s both biting and uplifting, turning a story of toxic cycles into something triumphant.
With riffs that punch and lyrics that resonate, “Butterflies” proves All Time Low know exactly how to craft a rock anthem for 2025. This is a solid rock track… one that feels destined to become a live staple for years to come.
