Cassadee Pope – “People That I Love Leave”

Cassadee Pope leaps back into the pop-punk arena with her new single “People That I Love Leave.” With thrashing guitars and high-voltage energy, the track harkens back to her days as the front-woman of Hey Monday. It’s like riding a bicycle; you just never forget. “I’m scared of jumping in the deep end ’cause when I do I almost always drown,” she sings. “You could be everything I’m needing / I’m probably never gonna get to find out.” She’s been through too much heartache to open her heart now, so instead of giving it a fighting chance, she closes herself off. And that’s totally a fair, valid response. We’d do the same.
