Our thoughts

After a breakup, how do you stop pacing like a caged lion? How do you break free from this repetitive pattern that leads us towards healing and moving on?

Alexa Kate (about whom the only thing we know is that she comes from the USA), attempts to answer these endlessly asked questions when a relationship gradually fades away. And with great talent in writing, with these super impactful lines in the pre-chorus: 'I'm hoping the more time that passes is bringing me closer to answers'.

Honestly, the song is so effective that you almost want to start playing it by asking, 'Alexa, can you make me forget my heartbreak?'

Production-wise, it's very clean and polished, super professional, and the track is definitely radio-ready. The melody is very catchy, and you'll find yourself singing along from the second chorus onward. Radio programmers would be wrong to miss out on this. And you, have you saved it to your favorite playlist?

Alexa Kate's take on "again & again"

It's a perfect anthem for anyone who's been through the agony of repeated emotional turmoil!

Reach out to Alexa Kate

Lyrics

Silence is so loud
And I can’t help my thoughts from shuffling in
So I’ll put myself in dark crowds
To try and distract myself from thinking it

I see a clock on the wall
And I just stare, feeling small
Cause I’m hoping the more time that passes
Is bringing me closer to answers

You broke me, like no one’s ever done
Like no one’s ever done
You brought me close, then locked me out
And I’m so not over it
I know just how this ends
Cause it keeps happening
Again and again and again

So nonchalant, you said you wanted
To make an impression on me
And wow, you did
’Cause I thought maybe you’d be
The one to change my reality

And now I see a clock on the wall
And I just stare, feeling small
Cause I’m hoping the more time that passes
Is bringing me closer to answers

You broke me, like no one’s ever done
Like no one’s ever done
You brought me close, then locked me out
And I’m so not over it
I know just how this ends
Cause it keeps happening
Again and again and again

I know I'm not the first girl to be left standing out in the cold
And I know I'm not the first girl to be crying on the floor alone
And I know this feeling won't last but for now it's the only feeling I know
And it's hard to breath when you took all the air I needed and

Broke me, like no one’s ever done
Like no one’s ever done
You brought me close, then locked me out
And I’m so not over it
I know just how this ends
Cause it keeps happening
Again and again and again
