Background and release
Following the success of "
Que Sera", Justice Crew featured on
Beau Ryan's single "
Where You From?" and announced their new single would be titled "Rise & Fall" on 26 September.
On Rise & Fall, Justice Crew turn away from the house music sound by experimenting with soft-rock. Justice Crew member John Pearce explains, "We have had our pop music and our club bangers, but we edged off to the side with 'Que Sera' and now with 'Rise & Fall' we are exploring a whole new side to Justice Crew. It's got a sort of 'love' meaning behind it... it is a romantic song, but the lyrics are really metaphorical."[3] "'Rise & Fall' is definitely a new sound for us, but I think it's a really good direction that we're heading in. We're really excited to see what people think."[4]
Music videos
The music video was filmed on
Daydream Island and features the boys walking along the beach, swimming, cuddling with women by the campfire and walking hand in hand into the sunset.[5] The video was released via Justice Crew's
Vevo account on 30 October.
