Songfacts®:

  • This rocker is about fighting for your place in this harsh world. Rather than rolling over and moping about his woes, singer Johnny Stevens chooses to smash his challenges. "And if you're really a badass, have fun doing it," he said. "That's the flow. That's the essence of being a natural born killer."
  • Stevens and his Highly Suspect bandmates Rich and Ryan Meyer co-wrote and co-produced "Natural Born Killer" with Los Angeles producer Drew Fulk (Lil Peep's "Runaway," Beartooth's "You Never Know," Disturbed's "Hey You").
  • Highly Suspect released "Natural Born Killer" as the lead single from The Midnight Demon Club on June 22, 2022. It climbed to the top of Billboard's Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, giving the band their third #1 on the tally following "My Name Is Human" and "16."
