The track fuses Bad Omens' pulsing industrial-metal production with Poppy's ethereal croons, jostling between glitchy blast-beats, throbbing synth grooves, and explosive surges of digitized guitar.
The song's title, "V.A.N," is an acronym for "violence against nature," and its theme is part of the larger narrative on Bad Omens' forthcoming album Concrete Forever, an extension of 2022's The Death of Peace of Mind filled with remixes, acoustic renditions and collabs with other artists — just like this one. "That's a song that started just with the hook, 'violence against nature'," Bad Omens mastermind Noah Sebastian said of "V.A.N." "And then after saving the project with the acronym and seeing it we realized it could be fun to think of 'V.A.N.' as a name.
"Thus the rabbit hole of ideas began that led us to decide to write lyrics from the perspective of an artificial intelligence gone rogue."
