Bad Omens’ new single “Dying to Love?” doesn’t mess around. From the very first note, it grabs you by the collar and pulls you into this dark, emotional rollercoaster that’s impossible to ignore. They’re not easing back into the game, they’re showing up big, bold, and ready to slay.
Let’s talk vocals, because Noah Sebastian is seriously serving. As a longtime music critic, I have to attest to the fact that his vocals roar. He starts off soft and almost whispery, like he’s sharing a secret just with you, then slowly cranks it up to full-on powerhouse scream. That shift isn’t just for drama, it perfectly captures the whole vibe of the song, which is about wanting to love someone so badly it hurts, even when they push you away. It’s so relatable.
The drums hit hard and tight, and everything feels spacious enough so Noah’s voice can really shine. It’s polished but not overdone, which is tricky to pull off, but Bad Omens nail it here.
Bad Omens, ‘Dying to Love’ Brings the Lyrics
The lyrics? Classic Bad Omens, they dive into obsession and longing, but in a way that feels honest and raw instead of cliché. When Noah sings, it hits right in the feels. The song builds emotionally too, starting intimate and then exploding into that huge, anthemic chorus you’ll want to scream along to in your car.
What really sets this one apart is the vibe. It’s super cinematic, which is not a surprise at all from Bad Omens. The music video is super mysterious and dramatic, in true Bad Omens fashion.
Now, full disclosure, if you’re a die-hard fan of their rawer, heavier stuff, this might feel a little safe or familiar. The song follows a pretty classic pattern, soft verse, big chorus, scream in the bridge, but honestly, they execute it so well it hardly matters. Plus, in a music world full of cookie-cutter hits, “Dying to Love” still feels fresh and emotionally charged.
And from a career standpoint, this is a smart move. They’re clearly confident enough to polish their sound without losing what makes them unique. After some big hits recently, this track keeps the momentum going and shows they’re aiming high, which is exactly what you want from a band on the rise.
So, if you love your rock with a side of emotional intensity and big, sing-along choruses, “Dying to Love” is definitely your vibe. It’s not reinventing the wheel, but it’s polishing it up and cruising smoothly down the highway. New listeners, it’s a great intro; longtime fans, it’s a satisfying next chapter.
All in all, Bad Omens just reminded us why they’re a force to watch in 2025. “Dying to Love” is dramatic, catchy, and packed with feeling, basically, everything you want from a killer rock anthem.
