Because We Built It is the lead single from John Maus’s upcoming album Later Than You Think, released on June 23, 2025. The track opens the album and delivers a meditative reflection on collective responsibility, building around a repetitive bassline that drives its hypnotic mood. In the song, Maus intones, “Because we built it / We can watch it go up in flames,” capturing a tone of reckoning and reconstruction that follows his earlier single “I Hate Antichrist.”
