Brian May and Kelly Ellis released this Sunday, the 28th, a "therapeutic single" – in the words – about the anxieties of living through the pandemic and the importance of maintaining positivity.
“Panic Attack 2021 (It's Gonna Be All Right)” was created remotely between the two artists, using emails and video calls for production. The track is a reinterpretation of “It's Gonna Be All Right (The Panic Attack Song)”, from the album Golden Days , released in 2017 , with updated lyrics for current times.
“At the end of 2020, there was a feeling that perhaps saying goodbye to that year would bring relief from the pandemic and a new era of hope would begin,” May commented on the release. “Unfortunately, after a very quiet and restricted Christmas celebration, the New Year dawned with the realization that humanity’s struggle would likely get worse before it got better. Kerry and I realized that the song ‘The Panic Attack’ now had a whole new meaning for literally millions of people around the world who were feeling a growing sense of panic.”
