THE WARNING SETS THE WORLD ON FIRE.
“Kerosene”: An explosive song about the “Phoenix Moment,” enduring the journey, realizing happiness requires freedom, letting go of judgment and fully letting everything out! It’s the fuel to keep going, projecting yourself into a better future and above all being young, wild, and free—and crazy.- The Warning
LYRICS
I know you wish you were me
You’re so kind of whatever
You wear it on your sleeve
I think I know what you hide
Look in my eyes when you’re talking to me
You know you want to SAY WHAT YOU MEAN! Woah
Look in my eyes when you’re talking to me
You know you want to SAY WHAT YOU MEAN! Woah
SHOW ME YOUR TEETH!
WHEN YOU’RE TALKING TO ME
You rip my hair, my style, my jeans
I swear you copy everything
You try to write the songs I sing
You know you want to SAY WHAT YOU MEAN! Woah
SHOW ME YOUR TEETH!
WHEN YOU’RE TALKING TO ME
You rip my hair, my style, my jeans
I swear you copy everything
You try to write the songs I sing

SHOW US YOUR MOVES
Fast-rising Mexican rock band the Warning has started the year strong, releasing its collab- oration with Carin León in February (“Love To Be Loved”) and now sharing its incendiary new single “Kerosene.” The hard- hitting track could mean the band’s fifth album is on the way — its last full-length, Keep Me Fed, arrived in 2024 — but until then, the Warning are booked and busy with major festivals booked across Latin America and an opening slot on Yungblud’s global trek. A press release for the new single explains: “The band is poised for a massive 2026.”
The Villarreal Vélez sister trio – Pau, Ale and Dany – have dropped an explosive new single and video, appropriately titled Kerosene. It arrives before they join YUNGBLUD in UK arenas next month as part of Idols – The World Tour 2026, and beyond that it sounds like there’s even more on the way: a press release confirms, ‘The fuse is lit for a whole lot more to come from The Warning very soon.’
Their massive YUNGBLUD support slot arrives a year on from their incredible headline date at London’s O2 Academy Brixton. In our rev- iew, Kerrang! said that, ‘Tonight, The Warning seem like they’re here to show – not prove, but show – that they’re the coolest girls in the world. There’s nothing big-headed about it; it’s as if they’re simply stating the fact.’
"Hard-hitting track" — Billboard
Coming hot off the heels of the Warning’s recent country-crossover collaboration with Carín León, the Metallica-backed sister act is now heating things up with a more blazingly rock-geared single called “Kerosene.”
The group’s second song of 2026, which follows last month’s “Love to Be Loved,” seem- ingly ignites as a missive against copycats and the kinds of people weirdly keeping tabs on you by saving your pic to their lockscreen (“You rip my hair, my style, my jeans/I swear you copy everything.”)
The lyrical takedown is delivered through smooth-yet-soaring vocal harmonies from the band’s Dany, Pau and Ale Villarreal, and comes paired with engine-revving modern riff-rocking and fuzz-bass tones filthier than a tankful of high-ethanol crude.
The Warning have unleashed a fiery new stand-alone single titled “Kerosene,” along with a high-action music video to accom- pany the track.
“Kerosene” maintains The Warning’s hard- rocking sound, and blends in some pop sens- ibilities. There’s even a Chappell Roan- like chant that calls out a copycat in the lyrics: “You rip my hair/ My style, my jeans/ I swear you copy everything/ You try to write the songs I sing/ It makes me sick.”
The music video features the band’s three sisters riding around in a stolen car, shooting off flamethrowers, and getting into all sorts of mayhem.
The Warning are playing a number of Latin American shows this month, including three Lollapalooza festivals. The band will then support Yungblud on a UK tour beginning in April, as well as on his North American tour in May and June.
"Engine-revving modern riff-rocking and fuzz-bass tones filthier than a tankful of high-ethanol crude.”
The Warning have shared their second track of 2026, and have never sounded more fantastically fierce than they do right now.
The song is called ‘Kerosene’ and is modern rock at its most devastatingly bold and belligerent. A sensationally driving riff melts into refrains dripping in confidence and cocksure attitude, as they take down those who talk shit behind their back but would never dare say it to their face.
The people who watch their every move, despite the fact that they apparently don’t care about what they are doing. It’s the sort of track you would hate to realise is about you, delivered in a way that will send a cold shiver up your spine.
After releasing their last collaboration, “Love to Be Loved” with Carín León, The Warning is back with their signature sound on “Kerosene.” From the get-go, the Mexican trio has had their hit formula figured out—a strong bassline, fast- paced drums, and the vocalist Daniela’s high- pitched vocals. Put it all together, and you get another radio-ready and catchy rock banger like “Kerosene,” which at the same time plants a proud Mexican flag on your local main- stream rock programming, which is a win for alternative Latinas everywhere.
As far as the video goes, The Warning features nos- talgic Y2K elements like a bedazzled iPod nano, a fur cardigan, and streetwear sun- glasses, adding a playful, girly pop touch to the song’s cinematic action-like visuals. What else can we say? We love seeing Latinas thrive in white male-dominated rock spaces and having fun while at it. – Jeanette Hernandez
