Just Pretend - Bad Omens - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Just Pretend" is a track from American rock band Bad Omens' third studio album, The Death of Peace of Mind (2022). This album marked a significant shift in the band's sound, with Bad Omens making extensive use of synths and electronic elements for a more futuristic, dystopian feel. Specifically for "Just Pretend," these electronic components are thoughtfully interwoven into the background, supplementing the heavy, half-time drumming in the choruses and thick guitar riffs pervasive throughout the track. Noah Sebastian's emotional vocal delivery in "Just Pretend" adds to the raw, immersive nature of the song, navigating lyrics that touch upon internal strife, emotional pain, and the desperate desire for reconciliation. The lyrics depict a poignant narrative of an individual grappling with personal sins and emotional burdens. "Just Pretend" was written and produced by the band themselves, demonstrating their dexterity not just as musicians but also as music producers. In 2023, to commemorate the album's first anniversary, Bad Omens released the Official A Capella version of every track from The Death of Peace of Mind, including "Just Pretend." The album peaked at Number 11 on the US Top Hard Rock Albums chart.
