== Description ==
 
On December 25th, 2021, Bellamy made a short livestream from his Tesla on Muse's Instagram profile, showcasing part of, what appears to be, an upcoming song from the album. The dashboard computer showed the song titled Won't Stand Down, a very heavy metalcore-like song, numbered 4 on the track list. The 60 second stream was screen-recorded by a few people, but copyright bots keep on deleting the posts, likely meaning that it, either the "Won't Stand Down" single, and/or the album itself, is nearing it's release date. It currently can be listened to [https://www.reddit.com/r/Muse/comments/romrcw/full_60_second_preview_of_new_song_wont_stand/ here].

== Instrumentation ==
 
For what it can be heard on the tease, it seems like one of the heaviest, if not the heaviest one, song that Muse have ever done (at least that section). It includes a heavy distorted guitar breakdown, something that rarely occurs through Muse's discography. This could mean a return to a harder sound from the band, at least in this song, also including some electronic elements like those that can also be heard in the fragment.

Information

The first single off of Will of the People, announced on January 7th, 2022 on Muse's social media[2], after being streamed by Bellamy on Muse's Instagram on December 25th, 2021. The single was released on January 13th, at 3PM, GMT, on all streaming platforms (Spotify, Deezer, iTunes), together with it's music video.[3] This is the first single from the upcoming album.

Cover Art

The creator of the cover art is still unknown, but the aesthetic is very reminiscent of English alternative metal band Sleep Token. The album monogram, "WOTP", made its first appearance on this artwork. The monogram logo also makes subtle appearances throughout the music video itself, being on costumes and appearing as a car emblem, and also makes appearances throughout the entire album release process, including the Compliance promotional photos and the presumed album artwork.

Similar to the blacked-out eyes during the Drones promotional being turned into a filter for Snapchat, the mask of the cult leader, which appears on the cover has been made into an Instagram filter, released on January 9th.[6]
