Review: "Care Too Much" - Kiya Christine

It’s easy to get caught up with an ex who has long since gotten over your breakup. But is it really fair to call your overprotectiveness over them “jealousy”? Bold, fun, and honest, “Care Too Much” is Kiya Christine’s debut single that features everything you’d ever want from a confessional pop song. Capturing the inner dialogue of a girl who’s still hung up on an ex who’s already over their relationship, Kiya brings the self-awareness and sass to a track that is lighthearted and bright. This song is going to be perfect for those of you who love the musical storytelling styles of Sabrina Carpenter and Tate McRae, keeping it real while the melody flows.

Kiya’s “Care Too Much” is so much fun to listen to. The hooks are exactly their namesake– these electropop melodies are going to get so caught in your head that you’ll be humming them when you least expect it. I really love how light the song feels and sounds– the content in it may be about a breakup and the subsequent jealousy that comes from it, but the lyrics’ self-awareness keeps everything so honest that it’s almost impossible to not smile while you’re listening to it. Combining all of that with the fantastically-written chorus makes for a song that is just begging you to sing along with it. I especially love the line “Don’t call me jealous / Just call it overprotective”; there’s a sense of justification that follows it, giving the narrator a reason to keep her eye on her ex. Like the title says, she just cares too much to let go. If you’ve similarly been hung up on an ex, then you’ll love the relatability “Care Too Much” delivers in catchy hooks and dynamic lyricism.

Hailing from Boise, Idaho is Kiya Christine is a Los Angeles-based artist whose career began at the age of 9. Although she began as a studio dancer, she has since come into the music industry as of 2024, a year spent writing music while continuing her training in dancing, guitar playing, and singing. With sounds similar to Sabrina Carpenter and Tate McRae, Kiya’s journey as a solo artist is sure to be an exciting one. Her debut single “Care Too Much” debuted this year, and was penned when Kiya was 14. She currently has two other singles under her belt, titled “promise” and “Two of Me”. If you loved “Care Too Much”, you should definitely give her other tracks a listen. And don’t forget to drop her a follow to keep up with whatever she’s got in store for us next!
