There’s a myth that just because someone decides to end a relationship that they should be happy in the aftermath. The truth is just because someone decides to be the “breakerupper” the pain of the loss of the relationship can continue to haunt the person. “Breakerupper” by ANNABXLLE is an exploration of saving yourself from a troublesome relationship that continues to tear at you even when it’s past the expiration date. ANNABXLLE takes inspiration from early 2000s pop rock angst and combines it with the personality of modern pop. Annabxlle takes risks with the melodies and song structure, and the blend creates a unique anthem for encouraging unfiltered emotion.
As mentioned, what instantly stands out about “Breakerupper” is how the structure doesn’t take a traditional path. and this is taken away from the production. The production on this track is reminiscent of old pop punk, but it comes across as more sophisticated. What one can really appreciate about “Breakerupper” is it serves as a reminder of how old school pop rock can still be very relevant. The lyrical content is incredibly bare to the point where it’s almost as if the speaker expects to be shamed by the situation, but it has the opposite effect. Us listeners find ourselves connecting to the lyrics on a deeply emotional level. However, even when a song shows its true colors as a painful track, it’s still fun. It’s still a song that one can scream and dance to. What one can take away from this track is that your emotions aren’t irrational, and “Breakerupper” can serve as a reminder to those who find themselves in a similar situation.
ANNABXLLE is an artist based in both New York and Nashville who certainly wears her heart on her sleeve. From the initial listen she stands out as someone who doesn’t shy away from her true form. Her music career began in February 2024 when she released her debut single “Comparison.” Online her music does very well and she has cultivated a large number of streams and views. She is inspired by other strong artists like Olivia Rodrigo, Taylor Swift, and FLEACHER. “Breakerupper” is a great example of how unapologetic ANNABXLLE is and whoever a young artist like pops up, it’s important to not let them go, and from what we’ve seen, we can only expect good things in the future.
