“Teardrops” by Bring Me the Horizon

"Teardrops" was the fourth and final single from Bring Me the Horizon's Post Human: Survival Horror, released in October 2020, and it was written and produced by singer Oliver Sykes and keyboardist Jordan Fish. Critics couldn't agree what to call it (nu metal, metalcore, hard rock, emo, pop) and that's the point: it lands somewhere between all of them.

Underneath the crunch it's a song about kids growing up hooked on their screens and what that does to them, with depression and anxiety running right through it. The video goes more personal, reflecting Sykes's own fight with his mental health and drug abuse and how his bandmates helped pull him through. Sykes told NME it was his favourite track on the record.
