It’s a recent song; It starts with a drum beat, and then what can only be described as some ‘electronic grinding sounds’ as the main music.

The lyrics are in monotone and it is some guy saying “Don’t \<something\> Don’t \<something\> Don’t \<something\>”.

If you have any idea, please share.

Sounds like “Numb” from U2 which admittedly is far from a recent song. Perhaps its a remake?
