“We’re super excited to be sharing a new side of us with our listeners,” Kris stated. “I know it’s been a whole year since our last release but I think my favorite part about this song is that we really got a chance to take our time shaping and molding it into something so beautiful and cinematic. Overall, I feel like we came up with something that we haven’t really heard ourselves do before. Kinda like putting on a new outfit and being surprised at how well it fits. Like, OK SERVE!”
Eric added: “‘Hero’ is one of those songs that just flowed so well when we were writing it and fit together like a perfect puzzle piece. I’m excited to be sharing this new side of our music that felt so cathartic to us in the process.”
“Can a hero get a little love?”
