“Hurt Me Sooner” is the newest single from Jordan Anthony, a song about a relationship that ended poorly and still has a long-lasting effect on the singer even though it’s now over. Anthony wants to get back together with his ex, but he knows he shouldn’t because there would be too much tension due to how they feel about each other now. It wouldn’t be right, which is why Anthony is longing for the relationship, because it’s something he can’t have, and why he understands why, but he still thinks it isn’t fair. He would have preferred the relationship ended earlier than it did so that he didn’t fall in love as much and have to push down all of these feelings.
“Hurt Me Sooner” has gradual buildup of its instruments that make the song all the more powerful than it already is. Starting with reverberated guitar chords that sound like piano notes, Anthony’s incredible vocals come in, where he switches octaves from the first verse, to the chorus, to the second verse, and back to the chorus again. As the song progresses, more elements are added in regards to the production, such as drums and more harmonies with Anthony’s singing voice. Listening to “Hurt Me Sooner” sounds like you’re running through an open field, and the way Anthony sings the lyrics along with the production style truly adds great emphasis to the meaning of the lyrics.
