Liverpool four-piece Courting share the brand new single “Flex”.

“Flex” marks Courting’s first release since their widely acclaimed debut album Guitar Music.

Speaking on the concept of the track, frontman Sean Murphy-O’Neill, says: ""Flex" is designed to be a theatrical performance, a short play. Our protagonist is wealthy, successful, and famous… but at what cost? Our protagonist misses their ex (after seeing their glow-up), wears Ricks, chainsmokes, sends thought-out emails about their wellbeing to people they should’ve replied to sooner, and has increased their screen time by 25%. In the thrilling conclusion, our protagonist does donuts in a closed car-park, in a 1967 mustang, with all of their friends. The event is live-streamed on twitch to be rewatched until the end of time."

""Flex" is as sincere as we can be," he continues. "Sometimes the lines between real life and fiction get blurred here, but we’re nothing if not committed."

"Flex" is out now.
