"'Keep Going' is a song about struggling through relationships with the people you love. When it rains, it pours, but you've got to get up and keep going. It's a heavy song with an important message that fits the inclusive positivity of 152." - O'Connell on "Keep Going"

152 was produced and mixed by Tushar Apte and Neal Avron respectively and is a collection of 10 intensely vulnerable and absorbing new songs delivered with newfound ambition and purpose. This album stands among the most genuinely reflective and emotionally pure efforts of Taking Back Sunday's illustrious career and was influenced by the long layoff and the cloud of uncertainty the world (and music industry) experienced these past few years.
"Keep Going" follows previously released tracks such as "The One," "S'old," and "Amphetamine Smiles." Through it all, 152 contains consistent themes of generosity, gratitude, and hope.
