The Libertines return with a bang with their latest single, ‘Run Run Run’, reminding us why they’ve been a cornerstone of the indie rock scene for years. The band, led by the dynamic duo of Pete Doherty and Carl Barât, unleashes a cocktail of nostalgia, fervor, and the spirit of rebellion that’s quintessentially Libertine.

The song opens with a poetic commentary on a life lived on the edge. It is sung with Doherty’s signature sneer and Barât’s emotive croon. The verses have a Damon Albarn-esque charm, but it’s the chorus that truly shines. “You’d better run, run, run, boy, faster than the past, through the looking glass” encapsulates the urgency and recklessness that The Libertines have always embraced. It’s an anthem for those who refuse to let time catch up with them, a call to seize the night and keep running.
