In a world where emotions are often overlooked, Just Arrogant Animals take a moment to connect with our feelings truly. Their latest single, "For You," released on July 11, 2025, is a heartfelt tribute to those lasting memories we hold onto even after saying goodbye, sometimes believing it's for the last time.
Recorded at Haggarty Sound Studio in Peterborough, Ontario, "For You" feels personal and relatable. The song captures a familiar longing, the wish to remember the good times without letting those memories overwhelm us. It's like a love letter to the joyful times we shared, filled with lively sounds and delivered with genuine warmth. At the heart of the song is Kyle Knowles, whose guitar work and emotionally charged vocals bring the story to life. He doesn't just share a tale, he honors the memories and acknowledges the bittersweet feelings that come with them. The steady bassline gives the song a familiar rhythm, while Sabyan's drumming adds a sense of urgency, like trying to chase after a memory that feels just out of reach.
There's a realness to the recording that stands out. It doesn't sound overly polished or manufactured, instead, it feels authentic and alive. Much like their previous track, "Awesome Again," recorded in Memphis, "For You" crackles with energy, emphasizing an emotional feel. That's where Just Arrogant Animals excel, embracing honesty in their music. "For You" isn't overly dramatic, it's simply a reflection of real human experiences.
