Rise Against just shared "Prizefighter," the second single from the band this year. The song is called "Prizefighter," and explores the relationship of making art, maintaining autonomy, and keeping up with the average attention span in 2025.
“‘Prizefighter’ is about a compulsion to create, that then creates an audience, and then your connection with that audience and your responsibilities to that audience, and how much an artist is obliged to that audience. It's trying to reconcile the shift from spectator to the public arena, and what you owe the people that are your fans versus what you owe your own mental health,” says Tim McIlrath.
The band, on tour with Papa Roach right now, released the single through Loma Vista Recordings.
