Na de release van Balboa is het tijd voor een nieuwe song. We Are No Saints gaat over de bekendheid die de band verwierf na hun deelname aan Eurosong, de verwachtingen die hen worden opgelegd, en vooral wat ze niét zijn.
“After our recent breakthrough, we faced a lot of demands from the music industry, the people around us and even from the government. All eyes on us, and not everybody’s happy with us shaking cages – musically or otherwise. Some people want us to be something we’re not in order to fit the concept of role models – national heroes. This song is our answer to those demands. We are a lot of things, but we are no saints.”
