Pierce The Veil Scores First Mainstream Rock #1
Pierce the Veil’s “So Far So Fake” has completed a long journey. The song originally appeared on band’s latest album, 2023’s “The Jaws Of Life.” “So Far So Fake” also saw a resurgence in 2025 after going viral on TikTok.
“It’s about if you’ve ever been betrayed by somebody you felt was a friend, and the wound never really mended—where even an apology doesn’t feel like it’s enough,” commented Pierce The Veil frontman Vic Fuentes. “It feels like it can never really be resolved. So, it’s a bit angry, a bit sour, a bit difficult to think about. But I always want to write about things that are affecting my life.”
So Far So Fake
Though “So Far So Fake” is the band’s first #1 the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart (dated 4/4), the song topped the Alternative Airplay chart last year. It has already been certified gold (500,000 units shifted) by the RIAA.
