Slackrr release single “Over and over”

The UK pop-punk band Slackrr has signed with SBÄM Records and is launching their first new single, “Over and over”, and will be released together with a video today.

“We are so excited for “Over & Over” being released into the world. The song was written in early 2024, and was one of the first songs to be written for our upcoming album to be released via SBAM Records scheduled for summer 2025. The song focuses on something that we feel everyone can relate to: when you have people in your life who you consider to be friends or even strangers you don’t know talking behind your back in the hopes of bringing you and your hopes and dreams for the future down, and the massive impact that can have on your mental health. This song is about confronting those things and finding strength in yourself with the help of good people around you to overcome it. The video for “Over & Over” is based on this concept but with a fun twist to represent how the real facts and truth will reveal themselves in the end as well as the people who do these things to others will reveal themselves for who they really are in the end.
The video for “Over & Over” is based on friends or strangers talking behind your back and spreading lies and how, in time, the truth will be revealed. It’s about hope and finding strength in your true friends to overcome adversity. We took this concept for the video but gave it a fun twist to represent how the real facts and truth will reveal themselves in the end as well as the people who do these things to others will reveal themselves for who they really are in the end.”
