“Wake Up” is the heavy opening track from Circa Waves' sophomore record Different Creatures.
It was released as a single through Spotify on November 24th 2016, the day the album’s release was announced.
During an interview with Dork, Kieran said:
I’m happy that finally people are starting to hear...
So, coming, try to break my fall
Leaving, spitting sticks and stones
And I lay awake I don't know
This room will lead me to an open door
But it's alright, cause I can't wait to see the trouble here tonight
And so wake up, it's just a little too late for conversations
It's just a bit too much ground for me to make up
But you'll give it all that you got now, give it all that you got now, give it all
Slow, I feel ya, wrapping round my bones, I call ya but you're never home
And am I a fool? I don't know. You see me see the way the silver tongue
But it's alright, cause I can't wait to see the trouble here tonight
And so wake up, it's just a little too late for conversations
It's just a bit too much ground for me to make up
But you'll give it all that you got now, give it all that you got now, give it all that you got now...
You should give it all
And so wake up, it's just a little too late for conversations
It's just a bit too much ground for me to make up
But you'll give it all that you got now, give it all that you got now, give it all
Wake Up was written by Kieran Shudall.

“‘Wake Up’ is a big and bold way to start. It shows we’re not messing around anymore… When I saw the way that people connected with [debut album Young Chasers] I really started to believe in myself. I’m a different person now – I feel like I’ve got a fire in my belly with this record.”
