Tarric ’s latest single, “Don’t Leave It to Fate,” cuts through with urgency. Released ahead of his sophomore album Method, the track captures the psychological tension between apathy and accountability in today’s chaotic world.

Tarric, who draws sonic influence from bands like Depeche Mode and The Killers, leans on tight lyrical phrasing and a restrained but potent new wave production to deliver a message that resonates well beyond personal relationships. “As time fades away / We’ve got power today,” he sings, framing agency as both fleeting and essential. Unlike earlier songs that explored emotional fallout through poetic ambiguity, “Don’t Leave It to Fate” takes a clearer stance—against inertia.

The composition builds around a repetitive, mantra-like chorus, mirroring the cycle of avoidance Tarric critiques in his lyrics. The instrumentation is minimalistic, almost meditative, allowing each line to land with intent. It’s a shift from the more melodic narratives of his debut album Lovesick, suggesting that Method will operate in a different emotional register—one rooted in reckoning.

Though not overtly political, the track can be read as a subtle critique of societal complacency. Lines like “The growth is in the pain / Get up and take a stand” align with Tarric’s stated goal of documenting how he copes with loss and stagnation. In that light, “Don’t Leave It to Fate” becomes less a love song and more a self-directed challenge—resisting helplessness in favor of deliberate action.

As alternative artists increasingly use music as a vehicle for personal and social critique, Tarric’s latest work invites listeners to meet discomfort head-on. Whether that discomfort is emotional, spiritual, or structural, the message is the same: don’t wait for fate to decide.
