Single Review: Wont Go by Record Pink

"Won’t Go" by Record Pink is a moody, contemplative track that captures the struggle of feeling trapped by something inescapable—whether anxiety, a relationship, or self-doubt. The lyrics are raw and vivid, with lines like "Giving up all I’ve got when I don’t know what’s coming" and the haunting repetition of "it won’t go" driving home the sense of being stuck in a cycle.

Single Review: HABIT by Millie Atlas

 Millie Atlas delivers a raw and relatable track with HABIT, diving straight into the exhausting cycle of a relationship that refuses to stay in the past. The lyrics, found in the file HABIT LYRICS.docx, offer a brutally honest look at how hard it is to shake old patterns, even when you know they are toxic.
