The XCERTS Unveil Heartfelt New Track “In Your Eyes”
Latest Release Following January Comeback
After their January comeback single “Do It to Myself,” The XCERTS have just unveiled their second new track of 2026. This latest offering is a poignant and deeply emotional piece that showcases the band’s growth and vulnerability.
A Personal Journey of Loss
Vocalist Murray Macleod describes “In Your Eyes” as the most raw and personal song the band has ever crafted. He explains, “Fundamentally, it’s about loss. The loss of what I deemed to be forever love and the cruelty of cancer.” This track dives into the profound impact of grief and the memories that linger.
Lyrics That Resonate
One of the most striking aspects of the song is its closing lines: “This isn’t goodbye, this is I’ll love you forever.” Macleod shares that these words serve as both a definitive end and an open invitation to remember love. “It’s a desperate grieving cry,” he reflects, “but while writing, I thought, if this is the last thing we ever create, then that’s the message I want to ring out in Jordan [Smith, bass], Tom [Heron, drums], and our fanbase’s ears.”
A Unique Closing Touch
The emotional weight of the song culminates with a special feature: Jordan’s mother blowing a kiss and saying “I love you” at the end. Macleod emphasizes the significance of this moment, stating, “It was important for her to close out this song as it belongs to her.” This personal touch adds a layer of intimacy and connection to the track.
