When VOGUE premiered the lyric video for Cardiknox's new single "On My Way", it was with a fittingly fashion-inspired lyric video that had vintage inspiration for days. How would they ever top all of that epic found footage with their own real music video? By recording their clip in one take, that's how.

The duo, otherwise known as Lonnie Angle and Thomas Dutton, have already made a name for themselves with under-the-radar hits like "Black Wayfarers" and "Technicolor Dreaming." But it's "On My Way" that's bound to catapult them to the big time. With a new full-length album, Portrait, out in March, and a tour with the Knocks due to start within a matter of days, Cardiknox has a huge year ahead of them...and the buzzy anthem that proclaims that they're "not gonna stop" already has the answer for how things will pan out: nothing's gonna get in their way.

Teen Vogue caught up with Lonnie and Thomas to hear firsthand what it was like to record a whole music video in one go — and why this song was so perfect to start the new year with.

Teen Vogue: What was the inspiration behind the song?

Lonnie Angle: This song took a long time for us to finish. We wrote a piece of it long before we started our album, and while most half-ideas like this get thrown out and moved on from, this one stuck around because the message really struck a chord with us. We've always done things our own way — as both musicians and people — and despite plenty of bumps in the road, we've always trusted that we'd make it through. In this case, it ended up producing one of our favorite songs to date, and became an anthem for us to keep going during the album writing process...even — and especially when — we weren’t certain where we were going to end up.

TV: The song is really uplifting. What message do you hope people get from it?

LA: We hope people feel inspired to conquer their fears, pursue their dreams — however big or small, and persevere, regardless of the roadblocks in front of them. In many ways, this is the perfect New Year’s resolution song. You may not be where you want to be, but with some effort and intention, you’ll be on your way.
