Behind The Tracks: If Not For Me - Say It To My Face (Single) (2024)

"Say It To My Face" charges forward with gritty tones and pummeling rhythm sections, building the perfect storm for vocalist Patrick Glover’s impassioned lyrics about betrayal and the facade of friendship. As he shares, “I wrote this song about all the people in my life over the years that love to talk about me behind closed doors but have nothing to say when they see me in person. I feel like it’s gotten increasingly more normalized and just easier to hide behind a screen instead of facing somebody to talk out your problems, so I think it’s a wildly relatable situation to feel betrayed by people around you in that way. It’s so disheartening to find out that people you call friends have a very different perception of you. Say It To My Face goes out to your friends, your enemies, and especially all of the people that blur the lines between.”

With "Say It To My Face," If Not For Me channels the frustration of modern social dynamics, translating betrayal and resilience into a visceral musical experience. Left To Suffer’s feature amplifies the song’s force, bringing an added layer of grit and unfiltered rage to the breakdown, where lines like “Speaking out of place, I hope you bite your tongue” propel the track into full confrontation mode. The collaboration unites the distinct but complementary styles of both bands, creating a powerful anthem of resilience and self-respect that’s impossible to ignore. The track’s emotional volatility and sonic depth pull listeners into a full-throttle experience, urging them to unleash any bottled-up feelings of betrayal in a healthy, cathartic way.
