Them Bloody Royals brings out the glory days of the 80s synth-pop through their new single titled “We Children of the Night.”

Bringing effervescent joy back to the dance floor, the Filipino four-piece band’s new release struts confidently around pulse youtube-pounding rhythms, sparkly synthesizers, and angular guitars in an effort to knock the walls down—at least for the entire party run.

Outside of its jagged spirit and blissful retro appeal, “We Children Of The Night” is more than just swagger and sweat; it’s an attempt to capture the feeling of losing one’s self in the moment, drunken and ready to dance the pain away. 

Lyrically, it showcases “the excitement of meeting new people, flirting with strangers, and having fun,” as vocalist Sib Sibulo puts it. “The song dances around with the idea of falling love, the thrill of it, but also not wanting to fully commit to anything.” 

The vocalist Sibulo shared more of the story that makes up this escapism-driven song. “You can be so broken and jaded with the idea of getting into serious relations, that you just wanna say, “fuck it, I just wanna have fun.” And it is more evident through the happy-sappy chorus line that pleads,  “Here we are / Wishing this night would never end / We fall in love, we fall apart,” as if finding refuge ephemeral romance would make you forget about your struggles in life and love.”

Production-wise, the song in general - the entirety of it - is the result of Them Bloody Royals’ attempt to reinvent and outdo their previous work. 

“We wanted to see if we could come up with a legitimate banger, and set a good pace for the next things down the pipeline,” Sibulo shares.

Written and produced by the band themselves, We Children of the Night is recorded at Pointbee Multimedia and distributed through Lilystars Records.
