Following 2022 singles I Can’t Drive and Fuck Me (I Didn’t Know How To Say), Crawlers have just unveiled another brilliant new track.

Says vocalist Holly Minto of the anthemic new banger: “I Don’t Want It encompasses what it is like to be growing up in the current state of society and how it has affected the mental health of the modern generation from a first and third perspective. I have a lot of unhealthy habits that I am very self-aware of, however they don’t seem to change and seem to manifest into worse problems which I try to ignore, this isn’t really my own issue either, so many of us are aware of our own self-destructive behaviours but we ignore them for the sake of it being easier than recovery.

“I think the song actually took fruition when my therapist said, ‘You’re very self-aware, aren’t you?’ It’s very much a curse that we all, especially gen Z share. Maybe because self-deprecation has become such a normalised thing, which I hate but I can’t help but feed into. Writing it was a good way of me getting out a lot of behaviours I want to change about myself as well as critiquing other behaviours that society tends to normalise while growing up in your teens and early 20s.

“As soon as Amy [Woodall] sent me the riff I instantly knew I wanted to get these particular feelings out and create a song with the guys that sounds like the music I am listening to, especially when I am engaging in the behaviours mentioned in the lyrics, which has always been indie with a killer riff and a fat hook – kinda full circle in a way.”
