AceShowbiz - Bleachers delivers a unique sound on their latest single, I'm Not Joking, featuring an unusual mix of instruments like the harpsichord and Dobro guitar, played by frontman Jack Antonoff. This new track will be part of the group’s forthcoming album, Everyone for Ten Minutes, set for release on May 22.

The song is marked by a sincere and emotional tone, with lyrics that emphasize genuine feelings rather than humor. Antonoff sings directly to his beloved, stating, "I'm not joking, it was love at first sight, good Lord, I found you." The melody drifts in a way that evokes 1970s soft rock, highlighted by Mikey Freedom-Hart’s Hammond organ, and carries a falsetto “la-la-la” refrain reminiscent of Neil Young’s Down by the River.

Throughout the track, Antonoff distances himself from clichéd romantic gestures. He makes it clear he’s not the type to recycle pickup lines, interrogate his partner about past relationships, or control her actions. The song builds to a reflective conclusion as he sings, "All of that fear comes out in the big wash," followed by a firm, "I'm not joking at all." The harpsichord gradually rises in the mix, underscoring the earnest emotion of the track.

This new release from Bleachers offers a fresh yet nostalgic musical experience, combining heartfelt songwriting with distinctive instrumentation. Fans can look forward to hearing I'm Not Joking along with other songs when Everyone for Ten Minutes arrives later this spring.
