"No Way Out" follows the album's title track and "Pretty Little Distance", and deals with the same events and feelings that inspired the first single "Okay". Vocalist Patty Walters states, "No Way Out is about the desperation and exhaustion from struggling, when your best intentions and attempts seemingly lead you nowhere. Musically, the song is fast, dark, and aggressive, so we wrote lyrics that would parallel and compliment those qualities. Overall, our lyrics on this record are more honest and vulnerable than ever, and this song's bridge especially is a prime example of that."

To celebrate the release, the band will be doing a Live Chat on their Facebook page at 12pm PST, with the track going on digital platforms at 9pm PST.
