ARK IDENTITY Blends Dreamy Soundscapes and Digital Heartbreak on New Single

"Falling Apart" is out now!

( )

Indie pop artist ARK IDENTITY (Noah Mroueh) returns with “Falling Apart,” a late-night anthem that captures the ache of modern heartbreak in the digital age. Built around a heartbeat-on-the-edge pulse, the track unfolds with hypnotic layers of synth, reverb-soaked guitar, and ARK IDENTITY’s signature ethereal vocal delivery – a sonic mirror of what it feels like to come undone through a screen.

“We all experience heartbreak at least once in our lives,” Noah shares. “The song’s lyrics were inspired by modern-day breakups that mostly unfold through screens and text messages. In some ways, it’s a reflection of how people can grow apart in the digital age.”

Originally titled “On My Cell Phone,” the song evolved into “Falling Apart” – a title that felt truer to its emotional weight. Recorded in a single session, the song came together almost effortlessly. “It just poured out,” Noah explains. “One of those rare days where every sound seems to find its place before you have time to overthink it. The rhythm section gives it a heartbeat-on-the-edge pulse that ties the whole track together.”

The production choices were intentionally imperfect. The choruses carry a low rumble – almost like interference – that mirrors the experience of losing connection both literally and emotionally. “I didn’t want it to sound too clean. Heartbreak isn’t clean,” Noah adds. “It’s messy, blurry, and human.”
