“Music often takes the artistic lead in fighting social injustice and as the world gets more contentious everyday we see music following suit. ‘You Said You Wanted a Fight’ highlights the fact we need to stand up and let our voices heard.
CRITICAL ACTION had this to say about the track. ‘At moments like these - when social tension is high and people are told resistance is futile or dangerous the song insists that this cycle isn’t new. Repeating the line “you’ve been here a thousand times,” it connects current struggles to past victories and treats memory itself as a form of resistance. This is message-forward, politically conscious music meant to be engaged with, not background listening.’”
“UK indie duo TENDER have released ‘Heavy’ the lead single from their fourth studio album, “Where The Waves Break,” set for release June 4th, 2026.

The track itself is about having a crisis of identity even though life is seemingly going well.”
