Make Out Monday’s Back to the Feeling is a masterclass in balancing nostalgia with immediacy. The track begins from a deceptively simple acoustic riff, but quickly blossoms into a lush, full-bodied alt-pop anthem, complete with shimmering synths, driving guitars, and a rhythm section that keeps the pulse alive. Zack Shada’s vocals glide effortlessly over the instrumentation, carrying lyrics that evoke both longing and hope.

What makes Back to the Feeling stand out is its duality. It’s a track that mourns the past while maintaining an infectious energy that urges movement and optimism. In this way, Make Out Monday have crafted a song that feels both personal and expansive—a nostalgic anthem that reminds us the past may be untouchable, but its spirit can still inspire the present.
