MELT INTO SPARE KID’S NEW TRACK “MAKE BELIEVE”

Spare Kid plants a flag with “Make Believe,” a sharp, restless pop punk track that never sits still. It pulls from the genre’s core but stretches it just enough to feel fresh, heavier, more dynamic, and emotionally wired from start to finish.

The song kicks off with a riff that immediately sets the tone. Big, urgent, and a little uneasy. The drums land like a heartbeat, steady but tense, while the vocals carry that familiar push and pull between vulnerability and release.

Lyrically, it circles the habit of replaying what went wrong, getting stuck in your own head as nostalgia blurs reality. The band doesn’t lean into it, though. There’s resistance in the writing, a sense of trying to break that cycle, even if it means clenching your jaw and pushing through it.

What really lands is the ending. Instead of going bigger, the track pulls back. The final stretch opens up into a moment of stillness that hits harder than another chorus would have. It gives the song space to breathe before it cuts out.

From the singalong hooks to the heavier swings, “Make Believe” feels like a real step forward. Not just another track for Spare Kid, but a moment where everything clicks.
