Songfacts®:

  • The lead single from Pop Evil's 2018 self-titled album is an empowering song encouraging their fans to stay strong in the midst of difficulties.

    I wanna stand up, a hundred feet tall
    'Cause fear will never lead the way
    I'm ready to run, a hundred miles strong
    I will never be the same


    Frontman Leigh Kakaty said. "This song was written as a mission statement to never let fear lead the way. We continue to see how our music helps make a positive impact in our fan's lives, which really is what it's all about."
