The story behind the song

"Spiralling" is a song about human endeavor, built on a powerful groove. The band described it as a "train of thought" exploring this theme. The track was inspired by the "try hard mentality" of wrestling legend Ric Flair, whose trademark "woo" even influenced the song. The band also shared a message that "When we fall in love, we're just falling in love with ourselves," suggesting a reflection on self-discovery within relationships. At its heart, it plays like an energetic exploration of inner drive and self-recognition.
