Three Days Grace has made a significant comeback by releasing their first new single featuring Adam Gontier on vocals since 2013. Titled “Mayday,” this track serves as the initial glimpse into what fans can expect from the highly anticipated new album set to launch in 2025. This marks an exciting return for Gontier, who has rejoined the band after a lengthy hiatus, promising fresh music that resonates with both longtime fans and new listeners.

Recently, it was confirmed that Three Days Grace has not only reunited with Gontier but is also continuing to work with current vocalist Matt Walst. Walst has been the frontman since Gontier departed during the Transit of Venus album cycle. The last single released during the Gontier era was “Misery Loves My Company,” which dropped in May 2013, making this new release particularly significant for the band’s history.

Experience the Energy of “Mayday”

The new track “Mayday” opens with a captivating bass line that sets the stage for an explosive entry. Following this, Matt Walst‘s powerful screams combined with electronic elements elevate the song’s intensity, creating a dynamic soundscape. In “Mayday,” both Walst and Gontier share vocal duties, showcasing their unique styles and chemistry, which enhances the overall appeal of the track.

In discussing the lyrical themes of this song, the band elaborates: “This song reflects the troubling state of the world today, capturing an uneasy blend of disillusionment, exhaustion, and denial. It encapsulates the feeling that we are all teetering on the edge—emotionally, socially, and environmentally—while stubbornly refusing to concede defeat. Despite the overwhelming sense of struggle, we continue to push forward, one step at a time.”

Discover the Meaning Behind “Mayday” Lyrics

We’ll never say, we’ll never say mayday

Welcome to the end, just take a number
Just get used to the influence you’re under
It’s the same old story of
Wanting it all but it’s never enough
The more you know, you know, you know
Nothing

We walk like dead people who haven’t died yet
We ride like passengers without a pilot
We be losing our minds, but we all try to hide it
It’s hard to keep fighting when you’re barely surviving

(We’ll never say, we’ll never say mayday)

Just wait in line for your rights and your privilege
Then follow the leader right off the cliff’s edge
All your dreams are down below
Buried under broken bones
The more you know, you know, you know
Nothing

We walk like dead people who haven’t died yet
We ride like passengers without a pilot
We be losing our minds, but we all try to hide it
It’s hard to keep fighting when you’re barely surviving

Calm down, we’ll be okay
Just some turbulence, we’re on our way
We’re going down, but not today
We’ll never say
Mayday

We walk like dead people who haven’t died yet
We ride like passengers without a pilot
We be losing our minds, but we all try to hide it
It’s hard to keep fighting when you’re barely surviving
We walk like dead people who haven’t died yet
We ride like passengers without a pilot
We be losing our minds, but we all try to hide it
It’s hard to keep fighting when you’re barely surviving

But we’re still alive
We be losing our minds
We’ll never say, we’ll never say mayday
We’ll never say, we’ll never say mayday
