June x Jared Henry "Get Too Close" Cover Art

Feeling secure in love and relationships can take a while, especially after past ones have gone south. It can be daunting to try again and start fresh, knowing how hurt you have been. It is natural to feel like you need to put up walls and barriers, but eventually they will come back down and you will learn that not all love has to hurt. In a new single, June and Jared Henry sing about this very feeling, and their own struggles with the past. “Get Too Close” is an indie pop track, with lyrics that show the internal battle between reminiscing on past heartbreaks, while also realizing that this new love could last forever, if you only let yourself get close enough.

June starts this track strong, with her emotional voice explaining how she has tried so hard to protect herself, and yet this love is slipping through the cracks. In the first verse, she sings, “Built my walls so high and I, can't let nobody in / But you got a smile that makes ′em come crashing down / And I'm mesmerized”. She goes on to sing the chorus, in which different metaphors are used to show how hurtful love can be. A storm full of rain, a fire that always leaves her burned. Henry comes in with the second verse, singing about a similar outlook to June’s, yet feeling a little more willing to take a risk. Before the second chorus, their voices blend together as they sing, showing the fear on both sides of the relationship. However, in the outro they take turns with lyrics proving that this time is different. Henry starts, stating that he knows how love has ended for her in the past, and he wants to show her how he will be different. June takes the next line, stating, “Make this different, make it something brand-new”.

“Get Too Close” is June and Jared Henry’s second collaboration together, along with single “Weather”, released in April of 2024. June is a 25 year old singer songwriter from Houston, Texas, with over 215,000 monthly Spotify listeners. She recently released her EP Supernova, that showed her range and ability to create different sounds of music, as well as carrying through themes of new love, both the positives and negatives. Henry was born in West Virginia into a small fundamentalist cult, which discouraged music and self expression. Once he discovered his love for the art, it was a way to help him break free of this environment, and has now turned into the very thing he makes his livelihood out of. It has become his lifeline after losing everything, and he hopes to encourage others to search for their own path.
