Here's to the Zeros

"Here's to the Zeros" is a song by Canadian pop rock group Marianas Trench. It is the second single released from their third EP Something Old / Something New on December 25, 2014, in Canada and the US. It was released internationally on December 29. The song peaked at number 57 on the Canadian Hot 100 chart and was certified platinum in 2023.

Background and composition

"Here's to the Zeros" was originally intended to be released on their fourth album Astoria until Josh Ramsay confirmed on Twitter that the album would contain brand new songs and the track wouldn't appear on the album as it did not fit the tone. The song is a satirical track, poking fun at "catchy pop songs" in the form of a pop song. In an interview with MuchMusic, Ramsay spoke about the meaning behind the song and how it isn't possible to live a "perfect clean pop image."

Awards and nominations

In 2015, the song was nominated for the MMVA Fan Fave Video.

Music video

The music video premiered on March 5, 2015, and was directed by Kyle Davison and Josh Ramsay. It features the band dressed as Sesame Street characters and spoofing the TV show Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, with Josh Ramsay playing the role of Mr. Rogers.
