Moving on through the heavily enriched 13-tracked albumįilled with a majority of upbeat tracks which Walk the Moon tend to sonically specialize in, upbeat tracks like “Headphones,” “One Foot,” “Kamikaze,” and “Feels good to be High” seem to retain the familiarity known in older songs such as “Up 2 U,” “Work this body,” “Quesadilla,” with the effect of making one want to dance along to the smooth guitar riffs accompanied by the fast paced synthesized instrumentals.

Petricca emphasizes how he is letting go of “the last chapter in the story of my old self” filled with heartbreak and serious challenges to the built up climax in the song with refusing to be just a “lab rat” to breaking through with “I am the experiment/ I am the mad scientist/Invent my way out of this.” “Press Restart” shatters musical boundaries for the band showing how What if Nothing is not messing around when it comes to bringing fans a new and improved version of Walk the Moon. If you feel skeptical towards thinking “How could Walk the Moon possibly change their definitive infectious sound?” then the first track off of What If Nothing will undoubtedly clear your suspicions with “Press Restart.” “Press Restart” is literally like the name of the song showcasing how Walk the Moon is actually restarting their entire sense of sound with this powerful steady beat track focused on pushing past one’s former self and focusing on personal development in the present. This encompasses love, heartbreak, and the ability to move on and grow as a person.

He does this by focusing on his personal growth throughout his various life experiences.
