This One's For You, "bestie": muque's New Track is the Comfort You Need

Bestie, it’s time to slow things down.

As the year exhales and the noise fades, muque steps in with “bestie”, a warm, intimate new single that feels like a quiet hand on your shoulder when you need it most.

2025 has been loud for muque – anime tie-ins, festival buzz, and rapid-fire momentum. But they end the year by lowering the volume. “bestie” finds the Fukuoka four-piece stepping away from the spotlight and into something gentler, showing a new emotional depth beneath the noise.

This marks muque’s final release of 2025 and follows their first-ever featuring track, “Dancing in my bad life (feat. CLAN QUEEN)”, released just last month, where they explored a grand, expansive rock sound. This time, the band shifts gears, centering the song around guitar-driven arrangements with a stripped-back, organic warmth. The baritone guitar heard from the very first notes leaves a lasting impression, its deep, resonant tone sharpening the song’s atmosphere and emotional depth.

Inspired by the slang term for a close friend or special bond, “bestie” takes friendship as its core theme. Lyrics like, “If there’s no road, I’ll just move forward with you and make a new one. I’m not afraid of anything, because I can hear your voice,” express a profound sense of trust and connection. Delivered through Asakura’s delicate yet comforting vocals, the song gently wraps itself around the listener, offering quiet reassurance.

While countless songs have been written about friendship, muque’s unmistakable voice brings a deeply human quality that feels uniquely their own. By closing out 2025 with “bestie”, muque not only deliver a refreshing, heartfelt track, but also signal their steady growth and expanding future. A small, sincere song marking a meaningful step forward towards an exciting 2026.
