Peace continues: “I think we are always evolving as humans and that was what I was trying to get across and it’s okay to get it wrong sometimes. Declan came through and gave his take on what the song meant to him and it became this song that I’m really proud of and me tearing off the Musician perfect skin ideology and showing a vulnerability that I’ve never really expressed on my songs before.”

The pairing is a stroke of genius, with Peace’s direct, punchy vocal energy cut against McKenna’s smoother, retro-tinged indie tone. Two distinct voices from different corners of the UK indie landscape, coming together like two sides of the same coin. Lyrically, the track feeds straight into the core theme of Stupid Kids: embracing the parts of ourselves we’re taught to hide.“ADHD got a hold on me / Underqualified with no degree,” Peace sings, leaning into the honesty that gives this new era its weight.

‘F**k It Up’ follows recent single ‘Good Times’, and joins FC26-featured tracks ‘Spin The Block’ and ‘There’s No More Underground’ on the EP. It’s another reminder of Peace’s ability to move fluidly through genres and collaborator circles, from Franz Ferdinand and AJ Tracey to Yungblud, and now McKenna, without losing the thread of who he is as an artist.
