"You're Not Alone" is the first single from the third Of Mice & Men album Restoring Force.
The song was premiered on the first of December, 2013, accompanied with a lyric video,[3] while the single was released on Google Play and iTunes on December 3. This dates the first release the band has made with the new bass player and clean vocalist Aaron Pauley, formerly of Jamie's Elsewhere, who replaced former member Shayley Bourget.[4] It is also the band's first charting single, peaking at number seven in the UK rock charts and number 44 in the US rock charts. This song premiered the band's new album, Restoring Force which was released on January 28, 2014, via Rise Records. The band's front runner Austin Carlile unveils his reasoning for the name when saying, "What happens after a disaster? What happens after The Flood? You return to normal. You find balance again. That's what we felt like were doing with this album. We wanted this record to bring equilibrium back to our band and music. We're letting everyone know that we're here to stay. We're 'Restoring Force'."[5]
Lyrics and meaning
Carlile stated during the premier of the lyric video with Loudwire that he wanted listeners "...to know they're not alone. We're all going through it with them." It is also supposed to follow a theme of "togetherness, working together, and being a family" with the rest of the album. Carlile wants his fans to know that they're not alone and to feel a sense of togetherness from the group.[6]
