Today, trio Wild Rivers share their driving new indie pop single, 'Don’t' an upbeat earworm tackling the breaking point of a relationship. The band explains, “I've heard the adage my whole life: when you know, you know. People describe love at first sight as an irrevocable moment when you know you want to be with someone forever. I'm not sure it always shakes out like that. In my experience, as you get to know someone, you slowly come closer to knowing. It boils down to making an active decision to choose someone or not. If not, you try to make a really painful, adult decision to move on, and you try to trust that it's the right decision even when it's hard. This song is about making that call.” The track is their first new single since their 2022 album, Sidelines.
