Awolnation, formado en 2009, es un proyecto musical que surge del genio creativo de Aaron Bruno. Antes de Awolnation, Bruno había sido parte de bandas menos conocidas como 'Under the Influence of Giants' y 'Hometown Hero'. Sin embargo, sus ambiciones musicales nunca se vieron realmente cumplidas hasta que decidió emprender su propia travesía con Awolnation, cuyo nombre es un tributo sarcástico a su apodo "AWOL" durante su infancia, que se refiere a "Absent Without Leave" o "Ausente sin Permiso" en español.
Sus primeras influencias vienen de una mezcla ecléctica de géneros que abarcan el rock, indie, pop, y electrónica. Estas variadas influencias han permitido a Bruno experimentar con sonidos y técnicas, dando a Awolnation una identidad sonora única y distintiva.
El verdadero punto de inflexión para Awolnation ocurrió con el lanzamiento del sencillo "Sail" en 2011, parte de su álbum debut "Megalithic Symphony". Esta canción combinó sintetizadores oscuros con letras introspectivas y se convirtió en un éxito viral, alcanzando la escala global en ventas y reproducciones. La emotiva intensidad y el tono melancólico de "Sail" resonaron con millones, catapultando a Awolnation al estrellato.
Este álbum no solo presentó a "Sail", sino que también brindó joyas musicales como "Not Your Fault" y "Kill Your Heroes". La crítica y los fans elogiaron la versatilidad y originalidad del proyecto, estableciendo a Awolnation como uno de los actos más prometedores de la década.

[Verse 1: Hyro The Hero]
Have you ever met a girl that you tried to date
But a year to make love she wanted you to wait?
Let me tell a story of my situation
I was talkin' to this girl from the U.S. nation
The way that I met her was on tour, at a concert
She had long hair and a short miniskirt
I just got on stage, drippin', pourin' with sweat
I was walkin' through the crowd and guess who I met
I whispered in her ear, "Come to the picture booth
So I can ask you some questions to see if ya hundred proof"
I asked her her name, she said: "Blah-blah-blah"
She had nine-ten pants and a very big bra
I took a couple of flicks and she was enthused
I said: "How do you like the show?" She said: "I was very amused"
I started throwin' bass, she started throwin' back mid-range
But when I sprung the question, she acted kind of strange
Then when I asked, "Do ya have a man?", she tried to pretend
She said: "No, I don't, I only have a friend"
Come on
I'm not even goin' for it, this is what I'm goin' sing
[Chorus: Aaron Bruno]
You, you got what I need
But you say he's just a friend
And you say he's just a friend, oh baby
You got what I need
But you say he's just a friend
But you say he's just a friend, oh baby
You got what I need
But you say he's just a friend
But you say he's just a friend
[Verse 2: Hyro The Hero]
So I took blah-blah's word for it at this time
I thought just havin' a friend couldn't be no crime
'Cause I have friends and that's a fact
Like Awol, Issac, Davey, and Zach
Forget about that, let's go into the story
About a girl named "blah-blah-blah" that adored me
So we started talkin', gettin' familiar
Spendin' a lot of time, so we can build a
Relationship or some understanding
How it's gonna be in the future we was plannin'
Everything sounded so dandy and sweet
I had no idea I was in for a treat
After this was established, everything was cool
The tour was over and she went back to school
I called every day to see how she was doin'
Every time that I called her, it seemed somethin' was brewin'
I called her room, a guy picked up, but then I called again
I say: "Yo, who was that?" "Oh, he's just a friend"
Don't gimme that, don't even gimme that
Jus' bust this
[Chorus: Aaron Bruno]
You, you got what I need
But you say he's just a friend
And you say he's just a friend, oh baby
You got what I need
But you say he's just a friend
But you say he's just a friend, oh baby
You got what I need
But you say he's just a friend
And you say he's just a friend
[Verse 3: Hyro The Hero]
So, I came to her college on a surprise visit
To see my girl, that was so exquisite
It was a school day, I knew she was there
The first semester of the school year
I went to a gate to ask where was her dorm
This guy made me fill out a visitor's form
He told me where it was and I was on my way
To see my baby doll, I was happy to say
I arrived in front of the dormitory
"Yo, could you tell me where is door three?"
They showed me where it was for the moment
I didn't know I was in for such an event
So, I came to her room and opened the door
Oh, snap! Guess what I saw?
A fella tongue-kissin' my girl in her mouth
I was so in shock, my heart went down south
So please, listen to the message that I send
Don't ever talk to a girl who says she just has a friend
