Fat Dog Return with Explosive New Single “Cancel Me (I’m Tired)”

The London-based genre-defiers Fat Dog have officially returned, and they’ve brought a chaotic new anthem to kick off the summer. Their latest single, “Cancel Me (I’m Tired)” is a high-octane blend of industrial techno, pulsating synths, and trademark combative wit—proving exactly why they are currently one of the most exciting bands on the scene.

Released just ahead of their upcoming second studio album of the same name—set to drop on October 2nd, 2026—the track is already making waves for its raw energy and hilariously bitter lyrical themes.

What to Expect from “Cancel Me (I’m Tired)”

If you were a fan of their 2024 breakout debut WOOF., you’ll find plenty to love in this new offering. Frontman Joe Love describes the track as a fusion of John Lennon’s “How Do You Sleep?” reimagined through the lens of Anatolian rock experimentalists Altın Gün, all under the pressure of a relentless club beat.

The Sound

• Industrial Energy: The track is built on a thumping, floor-filling beat designed to tear up dancefloors.

• Lyrical Bite: True to form, the lyrics are both aggressive and darkly funny, touching on everything from modern frustrations to absurd societal observations.

• The “Fat Dog” Vibe: It captures that signature “feral” energy that has made the band a must-see act at festivals like Wide Awake and Glastonbury.

The Music Video

Accompanying the release is a dizzying, high-energy music video directed by James Winstanley. Filmed during one of the hottest days of the year, the video features the band on a chaotic, neon-drenched pub crawl through Soho, narrowly avoiding obstacles and capturing that manic, “don’t-care” attitude that defines their aesthetic.

A New Era: Album Details

The single acts as a precursor to their second album, Cancel Me (I’m Tired). According to the band, the record promises to be their most diverse yet, covering an eclectic range of topics:

“Into its lyrical orbit, the record pulls mentions of addiction, family ties, love, AI, ancestry, extra-terrestrials, Chris Tarrant, S&M, B&M, H&M and M&Ms.”
