Expressing the situation of an ex getting back together with a new partner through provocative, witty lyrics, the song appears on her sixth album, Short n’ Sweet, and drew buzz for its music video featuring Jenna Ortega, the popular actress from Wednesday.
Originally known as a young artist from the Disney Channel and hailing from Pennsylvania, Carpenter now fully showcases her evolution into an adult woman.

When it comes to soul singers, you can’t leave out Roberta Flack.
The relaxed drum beat and her velvety voice make this an exceptionally captivating track.

Riding on a nostalgic pop sound, its portrayal of wavering emotions will quietly comfort those hoping to heal the pain of heartbreak or those harboring complicated feelings for a former lover.
