I was inspired by garage pop’s ease in expressing exultation and the idea of righteous justice being met. It’s the “You’re gonna get yours” kind of expression found in so many great tunes. In the case of Got A New Thing, it’s mostly about justice being meted out for the victims of sexual assault and abuse at the hands of the Epsteins and Weinsteins of the world.
From Brian: "This also goes out to survivors of cults everywhere, who are abused and subjected to coercion by leaders they are taught to trust." The singer imagines the corrupt abuser being walked away in handcuffs, and with this judgement met, the victims have a new life - a New Thing Now.
