ROMAN CANDLE Share New Single ‘Can We Watch Something Happy?’

ROMAN CANDLE have returned with their powerful new single ‘Can We Watch Something Happy?’, out now alongside an accompanying music video.

Speaking on the meaning behind the song, Piper explains: “‘Can We Watch Something Happy’ is written from the perspective of my childhood self. I  struggled with severe OCD growing up, which was intensified by being raised in a religious household. I wasn’t diagnosed until much later, so for most of my youth I didn’t understand what was happening — I just remember being scared all the time.

“There was a constant cycle of praying for the intrusive thoughts to go away, eventually giving in to them, and then praying again for forgiveness. That’s where the repeated ‘one more time’ comes from. It wasn’t about depression or suicidality; it was about trying to survive this overwhelming fear of thoughts I didn’t want, and then feeling deep guilt because I believed even having those thoughts was a sin.”

Musically, the track balances raw screamo intensity with an emotional vulnerability that feels both harrowing and cathartic.

‘Can We Watch Something Happy?’ marks the band’s fourth single since signing to Sumerian Records in 2025 with a full-length album in the works, definitely one to keep an eye and ear out for!
