Boundless Grooves? Check. 
Breakdowns galore? Check.

"Working with DYD on this record was honestly a unique and fun experience, especially considering it was the first time I'd ever collaborated on a song completely remotely," KVDE says. "Every session was just me, Noah and Matt on Discord throwing ideas back and forth and tracking them in real time. They're both insanely talented at what they do, and I've personally been wanting to create something with them since the first time I ever heard them."

He continues, "Lyrically, 'Fake' is about that moment when you start seeing through someone. The way people can create an entire version of themselves for the world to see while hiding who they really are underneath. I think we've all experienced people who say the right things, play the right part and make you believe they’re genuine, until eventually the cracks start to show. This song is really about recognizing that facade for what it is and reaching the point where you’re done playing along with it."

DONT YOU DARE's Noah Duarte weighs in, saying, "Finally getting to work with KVDE was absolutely amazing. It was a challenging but ultimately rewarding journey and just seeing someone who is so talented take your idea and warp them in their own ways to make something completely unique! Be that Kade interpreting Matt’s guitar parts to me taking Kade's melodies and putting my own little spin on it. We were all just chilling in Discord making something awesome at the end of the day."Duarte finishes, "The song to me is about the fake nature of people who want to use you for their own gain, leeches feeding off each other, fake friends that hop from one friend to another; lost, it’s about recognizing it before it happens to you. Reality is what you make it, people can make a fake world out of nothing."
