“Stand Back For You” Finds Electric Guest at Their Most Honest—and 10K Is Just Around the Corner

Electric Guest is done playing it safe. Their new single “Stand Back For You” is not just a song—it’s a signal flare for what’s to come with their upcoming album 10K, due out October 10. And if this track is the bar, the rest of the record is going to be something special.
Written over several years and carried through emotional limbo, “Stand Back For You” hits different. Asa Taccone’s vocals blend heartbreak and acceptance, set against a sleek, soulful groove that feels both intimate and expansive. It’s still undeniably Electric Guest, but more stripped back, more raw. The hooks are still sharp, but now they come with weight.

Taccone says he couldn’t touch the song for long stretches because of how personal it was. That honesty bleeds into every lyric. “If you want a plant to flower, you must give it the sun it needs,” he reflects. “Sometimes in love, you must take the second stage.” That line alone could define the track—and maybe the album too.

​10K—named after a loan Taccone received to pursue music full-time—is shaping up to be a manifesto of creative freedom. The duo ditched label pressure and built the record with friends, collaborators, and instincts. Guests include The Weeknd, Carly Rae Jepsen, Kacy Hill, and a sprawling cast of over 30 artists and creatives. It’s a return to the hunger and heart that built Electric Guest in the first place.
With “Stand Back For You,” they haven’t just dropped a single—they’ve opened a door. And we can’t wait to hear what’s on the other side.
