“Stay Away” begins with intense guitar riffs and catchy lyrics reminiscent of early 2000s punk and alt-rock. As the song progresses, electrifying drumming and Micah Martin’s powerful vocals shift from rock to metal, creating a dynamic and immersive listening experience.

The track’s narrative centers on the theme of toxic relationships, with Micah's lyrics capturing the struggle of breaking free from such ties.

Micah explains, “‘Stay Away’ is about avoiding toxic relationships. Sometimes we stay in a delusional state and tell ourselves that everything is fine, when in fact it is not. We change who we are as a person and wear a mask to fit in with someone we shouldn’t be with in the first place. I know these toxic relationships are hard to spot sometimes, but once we recognize it, we need to just stay away.”

The song features three distinct drops, each bringing a unique element to the composition. The initial drops lean heavily on riddim and dubstep influences, while the final drop incorporates elements of future bass, adding a layer of emotional depth.

OUTRAGE, who has long admired both NITTI and Micah Martin, expressed his excitement about the collaboration, noting, “Working on something heavy with NITTI was an absolute pleasure and Micah killed it with the vocals!”

The release is accompanied by an engaging music video designed to enhance the song’s energy and visual appeal. The video includes live performance components, visual effects, and scenes depicting alt-metal culture, such as motorcycle burnouts, drum solos, and headbanging.

Filmed with a variety of lenses and effects, the video features up-close fish-eye shots, thermal camera segments, and wavy distortions, representing the chaotic essence of “Stay Away.”

NITTI's new rocktronic identity follows his previous success in the electronic music scene, including a Grammy nomination for “On My Mind” and collaborations with artists like Bad Bunny, Diplo, Pitbull, and Enrique Iglesias. His latest 360° sets in Las Vegas and Los Angeles have received positive feedback, solidifying his place in the rocktronic genre.

The upcoming release of “Stay Away” sets the stage for NITTI’s headlining debut at Splash House this weekend and promises to captivate audiences worldwide. This bass-fueled banger is poised to make waves among fans of rock, metal, dubstep, and riddim music.
