Alternative/nu-metal project abide has released “forget to pretend,” a heavy, emotionally direct single that bridges the gap between early-2000s grit and modern dynamics. Driven by the prominent, hard-hitting drum work of Jack Golightly, the track is a masterclass in pressure-and-release songwriting.

Produced by abide and mixed by legendary engineer Romesh Dodangoda (Bring Me The Horizon, Motörhead), the single explores the painful realization of being overlooked in a relationship. Lyrically, it captures the collapse of denial and the sting of neglect. By prioritizing atmosphere and groove over genre clichés, abide has crafted a nostalgic and urgent track, setting a high bar for their upcoming 2026 releases.
