Songfacts®:

  • The lead single from Pop Evil's 2018 self-titled album is an empowering song encouraging their fans to stay strong in the midst of difficulties.

    I wanna stand up, a hundred feet tall
    'Cause fear will never lead the way
    I'm ready to run, a hundred miles strong
    I will never be the same


    Frontman Leigh Kakaty said. "This song was written as a mission statement to never let fear lead the way. We continue to see how our music helps make a positive impact in our fan's lives, which really is what it's all about."
  • Pop Evil topped the Mediabase Active Rock airplay chart for the fifth time with this song. The Michigan band previously hit #1 with the singles "Deal With The Devil," "Trenches," "Torn To Pieces" and "Footsteps."
