Only The Poets combine quiet paranoia with alt-pop on "Thinking Bout Your Ex"

Only The Poets have unveiled their raw, relatable snapshot of modern relationships with the new track "Thinking Bout Your Ex". Penned by Dan Bartlett, Pablo Bowman, Tom Longhurst, and William James Watson, and brought to life by the skilled hands of DanDlion, Clem Cherry, and Marcus Yates Humble the Great, the track delves deep into that most intimate space, shared between partners in moments of love - reserved for quiet creeping paranoia.

Lead vocalist Tommy Longhurst paints his own emotional canvas across sleepy acoustic guitars, laced with hummed harmonies across defining bass lines that deliver an openhearted tenderness through each beat, leading the band through their forthcoming debut album. The song is a testament that Only The Poets aren't writing songs, they are bringing alive the turmoil and beauty in our souls. It's a little gem, one whose effect lingers long after the last note fades, and it sets a high bar for what should be an interesting debut album.

"Thinking Bout Your Ex" is not just about jealousy, but the general tug of war between self-assurance and doubt, between love and second-guessing. The track was written as a therapy aid to let you know it's fine to admit these passing, sometimes irrational thoughts, without letting them dominate. That honesty spills into every note, every lyric, making the song feel like a shared confidence between artist and listener.
