Citizen Reminisce on Old Memories on New Track 'When I Let You Down'
Their forthcoming fifth album Calling The Dogs is due October 6.

Renowned alternative rock band Citizen take a trip down memory lane on fast new single “When I Let You Down.”
Much like their previous offerings from their forthcoming fifth album Calling The Dogs – due October 6 – the song’s honest lyrics endorse the LP’s overall themes of personal growth and knowing when to move on from certain chapters (and relationships) in your life.
The song examines Kerekes’ relationships as he reminisces on old memories and apathetically leaves his past behind, while some of his friends are frozen in time and going through the motions.
“When you talk to an old friend and they can only say, ‘remember when,’ it makes me really sad. It’s a very subtle way of showing the friendship has died,” Kerekes shares of the track. “Some people are a bit lost in life and this song is to encourage them to move on from the past and make new memories.”
“When I Let You Down” is the third release from Citizen’s forthcoming LP Calling The Dogs. It follows the band’s previous singles "If You're Lonely” and "Hyper Trophy" – which Alternative Press praised the latter for being “catchy as all hell.” On Calling The Dogs, the band’s signature guitar-driven indie rock sound is highlighted through their passionate songwriting and styling.
Citizen’s world tour in support of the new record kicks off this fall in Indianapolis on October 18. They’ll also stop in Las Vegas to play When We Were Young Festival, before heading to Los Angeles, San Francisco, Nashville, New York, Chicago, and more. The band will then take the show overseas for a UK/EU run, beginning February 2024. All tour dates are listed below.
With less than a month before the release of Calling The Dogs and a world tour on the horizon, Citizen’s new era is coming in fast and furious. Buckle up!
