Sleep Token have officially dropped their latest single, Caramel. It is the second release from their upcoming album Even In Arcadia.

The track was released on April 4, 2025, after the band dropped a cryptic teaser across social media platforms. Per the fan reactions gathering under the comments of the newly released video, it seems that Caramel has struck a deeply emotional chord.

Days before the release, multiple social media posts were shared by North Carolina-based weatherman Chris Michaels. Chris is mainly known for forecasting rain.

However, he began sharing relatively bizarre weather reports that featured Sleep Token references, such as the band's logo and phrases like Prepare and Plant, among others. The promotional campaign did not fail to generate buzz among fans and enthusiasts.

On April 1, 2025, Sleep Token posted a video on their official social media channels that featured a flamingo, which is dubbed Jerry by fans, in a dimly lit room. The text reading "Caramel – 4.4" appeared on the screen. Fans believed that a new single was thus confirmed and on its way.

Fans were notably quick to weigh in on the comment section of the video as they shared their feelings about the newly launched Sleep Token song. Below are some of their remarks:

"Vessel and lads, if you're out there, I'm so sorry. You deserve to make your art without people invading your space. Thank you for everything.", declared a fan.
"This is not Just an Offering. This is a Message. From the Creator, The Man Behind The Mask. We all must remember, "Nothing Lasts Forever". This is his way of reminding us of this. Do not lose your way, Worshippers. For he can take everything has has given us.", penned another.
"This is not Vessel speaking, it is the HUMAN behind the mask. I love how he purposefully made a song dedicated to how he truly feels and how terrible the fans can be. Some of you need to realize he is human and deserves respect.", expressed a third.
"I know the likelihood of anyone seeing this is super low, let alone Vessel himself, but that was such a beautiful song. I am so sorry that people have made you feel like you aren’t human, but a lot of us do appreciate you for you. I am very grateful to have found Sleep Token and to get tickets to see you. The band has done so much for me behind the scenes!", added a fourth.

Others also chimed in:

"“I thought that I got better but maybe I didn’t” DONT MIND ME SOBBING", expressed a netizen.
"Dance to the music, cry to the lyrics. A trademark of a classic. Thanks for everything, Vessel. Sorry for everything, Vessel. May our love heal you instead of hurting you someday.", opined another.

Sleep Token formed in the mid-2010s. The members are anonymous and masked. It is fronted by a figure known only as Vessel.
