For the people who listen to music because it feels like the only thing that understands them, this is the story behind the song.
Im Not Gonna Leave came from a place where I felt everything all at once, fear, hope, loyalty, heartbreak, and the weight of trying to hold someone together while I was breaking too. It was written on a night when the world felt like it was pulling apart and the only thing left was the promise to stay, even when staying hurt.
This song is about the moments you dont talk about. The nights where your thoughts get loud. The times you push people away because youre scared they will do what everyone else has done, leave. It is about loving someone enough to stand beside them through the chaos, through the darkness, through the things they dont know how to say.
If youve ever carried more than you admit, if youve ever needed someone to stay when everything in you expected them to walk away, if youve ever felt like youre fighting your battles alone, this song is yours.

Let it hold you.  
Let it breathe for you.  
Let it remind you that you are never too broken, never too much, and never alone.

Unhuman Star  
If this reached you, keep it. If someone else needs it, pass it on.

I'm not gonna leave

“WHAT IF?” is an emotional rock anthem that imagines humanity’s greatest turning point — the moment the world stands together in the face of extinction. When a massive comet threatens all life on Earth, fear disappears, borders fade, and every soul looks upward as one.

Instead of destruction, the sky erupts into light… and humanity is given a second chance.

This song captures that feeling:
🔥 the fear
🔥 the unity
🔥 the miracle
🔥 the transformation

Driven by soaring vocals, powerful guitars, and cinematic energy, “WHAT IF?” asks the question we all feel deep down:

What if it didn’t take the end of the world for us to finally change?

It’s a reminder that hope is real, unity is possible, and our future can be rewritten — if we choose it.

Night Intruder delivers a heart-pounding, uplifting rock anthem made to inspire a world ready for something better.
