In the new song, Bookie delivers a powerful rap vocal melody, centring around feelings of frustration and regret, before Taylor launches in with an epic chorus: \u201c<em>Oh my god\/It\u2019s like it won\u2019t just stop\/You\u2019re always blaming me\/For always blaming you<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Both Bookie and Taylor have worked together before, both on singles \u2018<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/news\/music\/listen-slipknots-corey-taylor-duetting-kid-bookie-stuck-ways-2466840\">Stuck In My Ways<\/a>\u2019 which arrived in 2019 and on \u2018Game\u2019, which was released in 2022.

Accountability is the removal of ego and pride to see beyond your own nose, to allow yourself the room to grow via ownership of your actions,\u201d Kid Bookie said, reflecting on the inspiration for the track.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m around some of the best people who practise that in more ways than one. Corey and I have been working with each other for nearly a decade, but I feel this record is a coming of age, even for us,\u201d he added. \u201cNew territory, but a familiar approach to make sure we embolden each other through music.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis song is almost a therapy session for me, and not just via my own lyrics, but to how Corey has made me feel by exposing himself so bare in this record, truly an honour to keep pushing the envelope with someone who has just pushed it as far as it can go, but has completely revamped what the envelope fucking is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Taylor also shared his admiration for the London singer, sharing: \u201cBooks is one of my favourite people, not just artists, and every time he comes to me with an opportunity to create with him, I\u2019m always excited because I know I\u2019m going to hear something I\u2019ve never heard before.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018Blame\u2019 was so good the first time I heard it, I signed on without even knowing what I\u2019d do! I\u2019m proud of the song, and I\u2019m proud of him, and grateful to be involved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The newfound sense of confidence and determination to push boundaries seen in \u2018Blame\u2019 is also carried through to the forthcoming new album as well, which will see the singer embrace vulnerability while doubling down on the intensity he has harnessed throughout his career.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DTuoCxkE7va\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; min-width:326px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px); width:calc(100% - 2px);\">\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Back in January, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/news\/music\/rose-mcgowan-kid-bookie-interview-collaboration-live-new-music-3924254\">both Kid Bookie and Rose McGowan spoke to <em>NME<\/em> about the single \u2018Rose McGowan\u2019,<\/a> and the former explained why he named the track \u2013 rooted in themes of resilience, and bravery \u2013 after the author and activist, even before she agreed to collaborate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRose is just pure punk, and that\u2019s rock n\u2019 roll as you come, So having a moment in rock music where Rose is attached to it felt natural,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s two people that have very don\u2019t-give-a-fuck attitudes, but who really do care [about authenticity in art].\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for how that aligns with his forthcoming album, he added: \u201cI\u2019ve been every shade of a man I don\u2019t want to be, so this is about me seeing what I can do to be the man I want to be today.
