Digging into the meaning of "Don't Look Down," Nate Vickers reflects:
"This song comes from the moment you realize love isn't saving you anymore-it's slowly killing you. It's about holding on to someone who keeps letting you fall, and burying the pain until you can't hide it anymore."
Speaking on today's EP release and finally taking these songs on the road, Nate continues:
"‘Don’t Look Down’ is my way of ending the year strong, while also closing this chapter of my career. I’m extremely excited for my debut headlining shows and all the new, heavier music I’ll be dropping in 2026."
With his smash hit "A Little Too Late" cementing Nate Vickers as a breakout voice and his previous single "Parasite" pushing his sound into a darker, more visceral territory, latest singles "Falling Away From Heaven" and "Deja Vu" build on that rising momentum. Seeing Vickersblending gritty guitars with pain and the pursuit of healing, his latest EP, "Don't Look Down" captures an artist unafraid to bare his scars while reaching for something greater.
