Los Angeles, CA — Independent artist, Darro, is sharing his lively new track, “one sided” on April 18. The track is Darro’s first release since his 2024 singles “j.o.m.o” and “not the same.”

Darro showcases vibrant dynamics with “one sided.” The track is filled to the brim with catchy melodies and addictive vocals. Lyrics explore a relatable topic, creating a connection between the artists and the listeners.

“This song is about realizing that someone you trusted—a so-called best friend—was never really in your corner. It’s that gut-wrenching moment when they switch up, leaving you questioning if the friendship was ever real. I wanted to capture that raw betrayal in a way that blends the energy of pop-punk with the polished edge of posh punk, because heartbreak isn’t just for relationships—it happens in friendships too.” – Darro
