Pierce The Veil Releases New Song “Kiss Me Now”
American rock band Pierce The Veil, consisting of Vic Fuentes (vocals/rhythm guitar), Tony Perry (lead guitar) and Jaime Preciado (bass), will release their upcoming deluxe edition of the fifth studio album “The Jaws of Life” on May 9, 2025.
From the album, the band released a new song “Kiss Me Now” on May 6, 2025.
The song is a love song to the band frontman Vic Fuentes' wife and explores the idea of the fear of time passing by too fast.
Originally, Vic Fuentes wrote the song with his friend Josh Rheault in a cabin in Julian, California for the album. But the track was not featured on the album.
It was written by Jaime Preciado, Josh Rheault, Tony Perry, Vic Fuentes, and Paul Meany, who also produced the track.- Vic Fuentes said of the song, “Lyrically, ‘Kiss Me Now’ is a love song to my wife, Danielle, exploring the concept of fear of time passing by too fast. It was inspired by a quote I find true as I move through life. ‘There will never be a perfect time for anything.’ If you spend your life waiting for the perfect moment to do something, it may never come. I tend to overthink things, and this song reminds me to give in more often.”
He continued, “I wrote ‘Kiss Me Now’ with my friend Josh Rheault, who used to be in a band called The Dear Hunter in a cabin in Julian, California. I always loved that song, but we felt like The Jaws Of Life had too many slow songs, so it didn’t make it onto the original album.” -
The deluxe edition comprises 13 tracks, including the original 12 songs, a cover of Radiohead’s Karma “Police”, and one new song, produced by Paul Meany.
Vic Fuentes said of the album, “The Jaws Of Life kicked off a new way of thinking for our band in the sense of trusting when things are not working for you. The experience was so fulfilling and exciting that it made us reevaluate every part of our career - what we’re doing, how we’re doing it - and start chasing that feeling again by trying new things, pushing ourselves into uncomfortable territory, and seeing where it takes us.”
