Additional Information

At the end of 2016, Muse posted pictures of them on social media hinting they are in the studio. In early April, Matt posted a video on Instagram that they were in the studio and a new song is coming soon. The song, wrapped in secrecy other than the BTS videos, was to be released with a music video on YouTube and on the KROQ Los Angeles radio station, followed by an interview with Matthew and Dominic on May 18th, 2017.

On May 8th and 9th, 2017, the band posted 2 videos called BTS and BTS #2, showing brief behind the scenes footage of an upcoming video. On May 16th, a final BTS video was released, titles Dig Down BTS #3. On May 11th, it was officially announced a new single called "Dig Down" would be released on May 18th, 2017,[2] at exactly 07:00 Pacific Standard Time, on the KROQ Radio station in Los Angeles, California. At the same time, they released the music video for the song as well.

When asked what the song was about, Matthew Bellamy said “When I was writing this song, I was looking to counteract the current negativity in the world and give inspiration, optimism and hope to people to fight for the causes they believe in; that as individuals we can choose to change the world if we want to.”

The director of the music video, Lance Drake, said “The song is about survival and fighting the odds – when I heard this song I knew I wanted to do an action-packed narrative..."

Lyrics

When hope and love has been lost and you fall to the ground

You must find a way When the darkness descends and you’re told it’s the end You must find a way

When god decides to look the other way and a clown takes the throne We must find a way Face the firing squad, against the odds You will find a way

Dig Down Dig Down Dig Down and find faith When you’re close to the edge With a gun to your head You must find a way

When friends are thin on the ground and they try to divide us We must find a way We have entered the fray and we will not obey We must find a way, yeah

Dig Down Dig Down Dig Down and find faith When they’ve left you for dead and you can only see red You must find a way

Dig Down Dig Down Dig Down, find faith We won’t let them divide, We will never abide We will find a way

aaahhh aaahhh
