Indie rock darlings Pool Kids are back with “Sorry Not Sorry,” a pensive and emotionally charged new single that offers a glimpse into the heart of their upcoming album Easier Said Than Done, due out August 15. Known for blending shimmering melodies with raw, relatable lyricism, the band delivers a track that feels both intimate and anthemic.
“Sorry Not Sorry” leans into the band’s knack for vulnerability without sacrificing the hooks and dynamic instrumentation fans have come to expect. It’s a song that builds gradually, opening with a delicate, almost hesitant energy before swelling into a cathartic release. The lyrics navigate the messy terrain of regret, self-preservation, and the unspoken truths that can strain relationships, all wrapped in the band’s signature interplay of sparkling guitar lines and propulsive rhythms.
The track’s emotional weight is amplified by the band’s tight, expressive performance — every drum hit and chord change feels deliberate, underscoring the song’s reflective mood. It’s a perfect teaser for Easier Said Than Done, which promises to be a collection of songs that balance heart-on-sleeve confessionals with the kind of rock energy built for late-night drives and sweaty club shows.
With “Sorry Not Sorry,” Pool Kids reaffirm their place as one of the most exciting voices in modern indie rock, crafting music that feels both personal and universally resonant. If the rest of Easier Said Than Done follows suit, fans are in for something truly special when it drops on August 15.
