The track speaks for itself. It is a thoroughly produced, 2000s-infused, strenuous ballad—its lyrics simple, yet far from bland. On the contrary, they tell a story that elevates Lauren’s passionate delivery. The short sentences make it easier to highlight her thundering vocals, with long high notes that complement the tenacity of the instrumentals.

It is impossible to listen to this song without thinking of the early 2000s emo scene: punchy, seething, ferocious—always leaving room for that tangy aftertaste that comes with good old sentimentalism. Lauren’s emotions are palpable through the waves of sound, relatable to anyone who has ever felt betrayed—wrapped in feelings they can’t seem to let go of, yet eventually freed from the claws of grief and welcomed into the arms of pure outrage.

In her interview with CRAVE Music Magazine, she discusses how adjusting to a change of scenery can take a toll on a person’s emotions, especially when that change involves grief and disappointment. However, with this track, it seems Lauren has found a better way to channel that energy—to turn it all into art. Produced and recorded by Kile Odell (Sienna Studios, Nashville, TN), written entirely by Lauren herself, and accompanied by her own dark instrumentals, the song marks her official comeback after a two-year break and promises more of her outstanding material.
