There’s an immediacy to VIAA’s “Arson” that is impossible to ignore. The track opens with a surge of energy, a sonic spark that sets the tone for a song about catharsis and transformation. With its deft blend of alt-pop hooks and emo-tinged intensity, “Arson” is a statement of purpose — a refusal to remain small or constrained.
VIAA’s genre-blending approach gives the track a textured, multidimensional quality. Pop-punk riffs collide with shimmering electronic elements, while the dynamic shifts between verse and chorus maintain tension and momentum. The mixing by Bartees Strange ensures that every element is sharp yet balanced, letting VIAA’s voice remain the undeniable anchor.
Ultimately, the song succeeds because of its raw emotional core. VIAA turns personal reckoning into universal resonance, proving that music can be both intimate and expansive. “Arson” is more than a single — it’s an invitation to embrace change, to burn away what no longer fits, and to emerge with clarity and strength.
