A New Day is now the title track to the WWE's newest soundtrack, featuring songs from Story of the Year and Adelitas Way.
Adelitas Way released their first full-length debut album on Capitol/Virgin Records on July 14th, 2009. It garnered rave reviews from Tunelab and other music blogs, and sold over 2,000 copies in its first week. The album debuted at #16 on Billboard's 'Heat Seekers' chart, which features up and coming artists.
Invincible peaked at number four on Active Rock Radio charts and the album has sold over 12,000 copies to date.. Recent tours with the likes of Shinedown, Sick Puppies, Cavo, Breaking Benjamin, 10 Years, and Hurt have gained the band thousands of new fans.
Invincible is also featured on the new Smackdown v. Raw 2010 video game which is in stores now.
The band's new single, Last Stand, is set to hit rock radio on February 2nd. The video was filmed at the end of January in LA and features a storyline focusing mainly on lead singer Rick Dejesus. It should be released by the end of February.
Founding member and lead guitarist Chris Iorio left the band at the end of 2009. No reasons have been given for his departure, but he has been replaced by former The Leo Project guitarist Creighton Bibbs. Bibbs was replaced in 2011 by Robert Zakaryan.
Adelitas Way got their name from a very unorthodox source. While on tour on the west coast, their van was pulled over and eventually raided and thieved by corrupt Mexican cops who took all the money the band had, except for the few dollars Rick stashed in his boot. Disoriented and shaken from the experience, the band headed to the first bar they could find to calm themselves down. It was the Adelita Bar. After spending some time in there, the guys realized that it wasn't just a bar, it was a brothel. Rick ended up talking to one of the girls who worked there and asked her how she could live like she was day in and day out. She explained that it was the only way she knew to support her family in need. Talking to her helped change Rick's outlook on life and people, and thus the 'way' she lived became the inspiration for the name.

Just a Little Bit
Adelitas Way Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I can't stop thinking about you now
Your sex is so diluted
And your love will put me in the ground
Until you take it away
Turn all this love into hate
And then you leave me here dying
Give me just a little bit
I could be your star
Let me take a hit of it
Give me just a little bit
I could be your lie today
This power's an illusion
You can't stop thinking 'bout me now
I let you think I'm losing this time
I got you figured out
It's an addiction to you
But it's a habit I choose
I even like when you're lying
You're heartless stop this
Give me just a little bit
I could be your star
Let me take a hit of it
Give me just a little bit
I could be your lie today
I'm feeling disillusioned
You're heartless stop this
Give me just a little bit
I could be your star
Let me take a hit of it
Give me just a little bit
I could be your lie today
Just a little bit
Just a little bit
I could be your star
Just take a hit of it
Just a little bit
Just a little bit
Just a little bit
Just a little bit
I could be your lie today
Just take a hit of it
Just a little bit
You're heartless stop this
Give me just a little bit
I could be your star
Let me take a hit of it
Give me just a little bit
In Adelitas Way's song "Just A Little Bit," the singer is expressing feelings of disillusionment and addiction towards a toxic relationship.

They describe their partner as "heartless," but also plead for "just a little bit" of their love and affection. The singer acknowledges the power dynamic of the relationship, proclaiming "I could be your lie today," implying that their partner may not truly love them but they are willing to play along.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's desire for just a small amount of love, calling out "Give me just a little bit" repeatedly. They compare themselves to a star, offering to take a "hit" of their partner's affection to feel fulfilled. Overall, the lyrics suggest a complex and potentially dangerous relationship, where the singer is both aware of the negative aspects but still drawn to their partner's attention.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm feeling disillusioned
I have lost faith in you and our relationship
And I can't stop thinking about you now
You consume my thoughts despite the disillusionment
Your sex is so diluted
Your physical intimacy with me is unsatisfying
And your love will put me in the ground
Your affection for me will lead to my demise
Until you take it away
You have the power to end this cycle of love and pain
Turn all this love into hate
My love for you has turned into resentment and anger
And then you leave me here dying
You abandon me to suffer alone
You're heartless stop this
You lack empathy and must stop causing me pain
Give me just a little bit
I plead with you to give me a small amount of affection
I could be your star
I have potential to be the shining star in your life
Let me take a hit of it
Allow me to experience the positive effects of your love
I could be your lie today
I am willing to be your temporary deceit, if it means some affection
This power's an illusion
Your hold over me is not real
You can't stop thinking 'bout me now
I still have a hold over you despite my disillusionment
I let you think I'm losing this time
I am pretending to be less in control of the situation
I got you figured out
I understand your behavior and motivations
It's an addiction to you
You are addicted to the ups and downs of our relationship
But it's a habit I choose
I can't help but repeatedly engage in this unhealthy relationship
I even like when you're lying
I am so desperate for your love that even your deceptive behavior seems desirable to me
Just a little bit
A small amount of affection is all I ask for
Just take a hit of it
Give me a chance to feel the positive effects of your love
