"Planet Zero" is a song by American rock band Shinedown. It was released on January 26, 2022 as the lead single from their seventh studio album of the same name. It topped the Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs chart in March 2022, remaining there for eight weeks.

Background

The song was released on January 26, 2022 as the first single from the band's seventh studio album, Planet Zero, which was announced on the same day. [2] In March 2022, the song topped the Billboard Mainstream Rock Songs chart. The song was their 17th to do so, breaking their tie with Three Days Grace for the most number ones in the chart's history. A music video for the song was released the same day, directed by Charles De Meyer. [3] The video depicts a dystopian future where cancel culture has taken over, and ends with the interlude "Welcome". [4]

Themes and composition

The song was described as "loud and bursting with energy" by Loudwire, calling its production "much more stripped down in terms of sound." Addressing a suggestion by frontman Brent Smith that the record would be controversial, they said, "this song definitely touches upon some themes that are sure to get the wheels turning." [2]
