Manchester’s punk band Endings are releasing their newest single “Positive Thinking” on December 5. The emo track delivers raw, strained vocals that tap straight into the emo-pop-punk nostalgia you can’t escape, with the guitars adding punchy energy and riffs that get stuck in your head.

The heart of the song is all about going through the low points without pretending they don’t exist. “Positive Thinking” leans into that late-night headspace where everything you’ve been through starts replaying, and you’re trying to figure out how to keep going even when things feel heavy. It doesn’t force fake optimism, it sits in the mess a little and tries to find whatever good is there, which is honestly something most of us forget to do. 

That’s what makes it so relatable. It’s basically the feeling of faking it till you make it, but in a way that still gives you a small push forward. On the Endings band Instagram, the singer talked about how the song came from dealing with a lot of negative thoughts and wanting a reminder that he kept going through more than he gave himself credit for. He keeps the meaning open so anyone can read it in their own way, and you can feel that in the writing. He hopes others can relate to it as much as he does.

“Positive Thinking” is a strong mix of heaviness and hope carried by gritty vocals and tight punk energy. It’s emotional without being too dramatic and uplifting without ignoring the hard stuff. Endings capture that balance well, and the track lands exactly where emo-pop-punk feels the most honest.
