Dublin’s Four Nights has returned to gift us new single, “Not This Time,” and we should probably warn you that it’s a tearjerker. Not mad though.
Set to be featured on his forthcoming debut EP due out later this year, “Not This Time” is a confessional on intense heartbreak and the daily struggles that go along with it: the insomnia, the overthinking, the obsessive searches on social media and the gut-punching realizations that send you into a whole new spiral.
“I started writing ‘Not This Time’ years ago. I made multiple versions of the track with a variety of melodies and structures, before I parked it due to listener fatigue. It was only when I was finishing out my EP last year that I realized this song would make a perfect finale. Once it had its place, the whole thing came together in a day. The track’s inspiration doesn’t come from any romantic relationship I’ve had in the past, but more so from loss in general. Most people have been through it and a lot of those will have struggled in the way I do; usually overthinking to the point of madness in bed at night. It’s universally relatable.”
