Lonely is a song directed towards my anxiety and feelings of being an introvert in an extroverted career. I’ve often buried my feelings in metaphors throughout the years due to my own insecurities and this song was an attempt to peel back my fears and face them. Rick Rubin really pushed me to be more vulnerable and dive into uncomfortable places for me, and this song is really quite direct about struggles I’ve had through the years. I wanted it to lead the album because it immediately set the tone and theme for the record. We bought a house together a few years back and renovated into a studio. This song was recorded at the band's studio in Las Vegas. With the world now opening up, Imagine Dragons sit down with Clash to walk through their new album. In all, 'Mercury - Act 1' utilised some 300 demos, a gradual process that allowed Imagine Dragons to remove the creative obstacles in their way. Take recent single 'Wrecked' - an immediate fan favourite, the lyrics deal with a palpable, and all-too-real sense of loss, with Dan Reynolds dedicating the song to his sister-in-law who sadly died from cancer. Out now, it was produced by Rick Rubin and his touch allows Imagine Dragons to lean closer to the emotional core of their songwriting. Those emotions come pouring out on new album 'Mercury - Act 1'. Since then, however, there's been a lot to deal with: a global pandemic, for one, but also a few matters in their own lives.įrontman Dan Reynolds lost three family members recently, a process of grief that pushed him into some challenging spaces. The American pop leviathans released their hugely successful album 'Origins' back in 2018, scoring a tidal wave of international success. A lot of water has gone under the bridge since we last heard from Imagine Dragons.
