На экране — лихорадочный пульс современного мира, где каждый шаг диктует невидимый хореограф. 29 июля 2022 года AJR выпускают клип на нервную, исповедальную песню «I Won't». Режиссёр Патрик Трейси превращает тревожную энергию трека в калейдоскоп образов: бесконечные перелёты между Акапулько и Токио, толпы «красивых людей», требующих следовать танцу, и единственный твёрдый ответ — «я не буду». Это не просто видео, а манифест усталости от бега по кругу, где под глянцевой обложкой прячется отчаяние. Визуальный ряд бьёт по нервам: резкий монтаж, навязчивые повторения и крупные планы измождённых лиц — так выглядит поколение, которое «вздохнуло, ожило, но умерло от скуки». AJR не пытаются нравиться — они честно говорят о давлении, о фальшивом восторге и о том, как трудно сказать «стоп», когда все вокруг поднимают руки. И именно этот искренний жест неподчинения делает клип таким убедительным. Текст песни: Hello, how you doin'? Am I talkin' too fast? I'm runnin' on adrenaline and one-hour naps 'Cause I do what you tell me to and do it to death Do it death (Yeah-eah-eah) Acapulco, Tel Aviv or maybe Japan And pretty people yell at me to follow the dance So I do what you tell me to and do it to death But I can't do this shit again Put your hands up 'cause I won't (Right on time) Raise a glass up 'cause I won't (My, oh, my) Get your ass up 'cause I won't I must've missed the hype But maybe that's the way I feel Put your hands up 'cause I won't (Right on time) I'm not here 'cause you say so (My, oh, my) Get your ass up 'cause I won't I must've missed the hype But maybe that's the way I feel That's the way I feel (I don't, I don't, I don't) I don't got a body like I see in the press So I got to the precipice of pressing my chest And now I look impressive with a couple of pecs Just like my friends So welcome back and take a breath You've come to life, you're bored to death So welcome back and take a breath You've come to life but I digress Put your hands up 'cause I won't (Right on time) Raise a glass up 'cause I won't (My, oh, my) Get your ass up 'cause I won't I must've missed the hype But maybe that's the way I feel Put your hands up 'cause I won't (Right on time) I'm not here 'cause you say so (My, oh, my) Get your ass up 'cause I won't I must've missed the hype but maybe that's the way I feel That's the way I feel So welcome back and take a breath You've come to life, you're bored to death So welcome back and take a breath You've come to life, you're bored to death So welcome back Acapulco, Tel Aviv or maybe Japan And pretty people yell at me to follow the dance So I do what you tell me to and do it to death But I can't do this shit again Put your hands up 'cause I won't (Right on time) Raise a glass up 'cause I won't (My, oh, my) (I won't) Get your ass up 'cause I won't I must've missed the hype But maybe that's the way I feel Put your hands up 'cause I won't (Right on time) I'm not here 'cause you say so (My, oh, my) Get your ass up 'cause I won't I must've missed the hype but maybe that's the way I feel That's the way I feel
