This pop rock track combines driving rhythms with energetic guitar work that makes it engaging for electric guitarists of all levels. The song's anthemic structure and straightforward chord progressions offer solid foundational material for learning modern rock techniques.

  • Released February 1, 2017 as the lead single from the third studio album Evolve.
  • Written collaboratively by Imagine Dragons, Justin Tranter, and producers Alex da Kid, Mattman & Robin.
  • The music video features lead singer Dan Reynolds in a boxing match with actor Dolph Lundgren.

Fender Telecaster

Wayne Sermon's primary instrument for Imagine Dragons, the Telecaster's bright single-coil pickups and natural clarity enable his precise palm-muting technique and aggressive downpicking to cut through without heavy effects. The high-output bridge pickup paired with increased action prevents buzz during the band's clean-to-slightly-overdriven tones, making every picking articulation audible.
