"Zombified" is a song by American rock band Falling in Reverse. It was released on January 5, 2022, through Epitaph Records.[1] It was released as a standalone single and was later included on their fifth studio album Popular Monster.[2][3] The song was again produced by DangerKids vocalist Tyler Smyth and Ronnie Radke.
Promotion and release
At the end of 2021, vocalist Ronnie Radke published images through Instagram that showed indication of an upcoming song. On January 4, 2022, the band announced on their social networks that there would be a live broadcast on Radke's Twitch channel the following day.[4] The song was released on January 5, via live stream. It is the first single from their upcoming Neon Zombie EP.[1][3] But the band later never announced any preview or estimated date for the EP.
On May 7, 2024 the band released the single "Ronald" and after 7 years of the release of their fourth studio album Coming Home, the band finally announced that they would be releasing their fifth studio album called Popular Monster and it will be released on August 16, 2024.[2]
Composition and lyrics
"Zombified" is a song written by Ronnie Radke, John Lundin, and Cody Quistad. The song's lyrics are a stand against cancel culture, wherein celebrities or popular online personalities get "cancelled" for certain actions, regardless of how long ago said actions were, and whether or not the offender had changed as a person.[5] The song was composed by Ronnie Radke with a "rock anthem" influence.[6] About this single Ronnie explains why he wrote the song: Page Template:Blockquote/styles.css has no content.
I wrote "Zombified" about how sensitive society has gotten, in my opinion. I think we all need to learn to laugh a little more. I pulled out all the stops for the "Zombified" video, for the fans, YouTube reactors, and all people alike.[6]
Music video
The music video for the song was directed by Jensen Noen who had already directed the band's music videos for other songs such as "Popular Monster", "The Drug in Me Is Reimagined", and "I'm Not a Vampire (Revamped)". The music video shows Falling in Reverse fending off against zombies in a post apocalyptic world.[7] The music video won Best of Festival - Music Video at the 2022 Richmond International Film Festival.[8]
In popular culture
Radke's former partner and professional wrestler Saraya was reported in 2022 as using "Zombified" as her entrance music in All Elite Wrestling.[9][10]
