Alt-rock artist Collington has returned with a powerful new single, "Waiting for Daylight (ARRÊT)," released March 6 and now available on major streaming platforms.

Built on a pop-forward rock foundation with reflective depth, the track captures the emotional tension of being caught in a season of waiting-when doubt feels heavy and clarity seems just out of reach. Blending energetic rock melodies with vulnerable storytelling, the song echoes the emotional intensity often associated with bands like Switchfoot.

From the opening lines, Collington sets a deeply introspective tone, acknowledging the struggle of trying to appear strong while wrestling with inner uncertainty.

"Darkness falls once again / And I will try to pretend / That it's day out / But I know I'm wrong."

The song moves through a journey of frustration, longing, and hope. Its pre-chorus introduces a heartfelt cry for guidance:

"Say won't you find me / Light that blinds me."

The chorus anchors the track with a powerful refrain that reflects the song's central theme of searching for light during moments of spiritual and emotional darkness.

"Waiting for daylight
The moment when you find me
I won't close my eyes
Won't you find me."

Rather than offering an immediate resolution, "Waiting for Daylight (ARRÊT)" embraces the tension of the in-between moments of life-those seasons where answers feel distant but faith encourages perseverance.

This theme resonates deeply with listeners navigating their own struggles, reminding them that even in darkness, hope for the light remains.
