"Don't Stop" is a song by American

frontman Jacoby Shaddix
.

Background

"Don't Stop" was written and recording over the course of 2016 and 2017, while the band alternated between touring and writing and recording their fifth studio album,

frontman Jacoby Shaddix, alternating vocals with Nothing More frontman Jonny Hawkins.[6][7] The music video alternates between footage of the band performing, and increasing numbers of people running through a city, away from special agent government men, with the people eventually arriving at the warehouse the band is performing in.[5] Shaddix also appears in the video, where he emerges from the crowd to perform his part of the song.[4][6]

Composition and themes

The song was described as having an electronic and industrial beat, with an overall hard rock sound due to its "massive bass" and "soaring guitars".[1][5] The song's sound was described as having elements of nu metal.[8] Hawkins alternates between soaring, melodic vocals, and harsh, screamed vocals, throughout the song.[1][5] The guest vocals provided by Jacoby Shaddix mirror these same traits, with the two creating a sound as if they are "facing off" against one another, chanting and screaming.[1][5]

Lyrically, the song is about one pushing forward in one's inner struggles while embracing individuality and inner-strength to do so.

New Year's Resolution is to cut through the confusions.' That is a literal New Year's Resolution I made this last year. I had a very fun New Year's Eve, but I also had a very sobering moment in the month of January where I was by myself and a lot of things sunk in that had transpired in the last two years. I think that (finding) my own clarity about (my resolution) and documenting it – putting words to that process...will allow other people to find their own story or find clarity. I hope that will be the end result: that people will find clarity. Or better communication with people, which will allow for more love and understanding and greater things that we can do."[9]
