The track will open new album A Hero’s Death
Fontaines D.C have released the opening track for their new album, out July 31st.
The video for ‘I Don’t Belong’ was directed by the band’s bassist Connor Deggan III, which was originally intended to be filmed in London before lockdown restrictions took place.
Singer Grian Chetten says the track “is a dismissal of the expectations of other people who consider themselves loyal to you. We wanted it to be a statement, almost like the anti-“Big” [opening song on ‘Dogrel’], which is why we put it as the first song on the new album. This sentiment of not belonging can be liberating in a way, but it’s also lonely and sad. We wanted to show both sides of that type of loneliness.”
