Fergus Hogan’s debut single, Run It Back, is an upbeat pop rock song about the chaos of wanting someone you can’t let go of. It describes the insatiable feeling of needing to be with that person and literally doing whatever it takes to get them back. Love is truly that powerful whether it’s first love, tenth love, teenage love, elderly love. As humans, we love with all our hearts and that makes it harder for us to let go of someone that doesn’t want to be with us anymore. Fergus really hit the nail on the head with this one. I also feel the need to mention that he has a cool name.
Run It Back is very catchy and I love the way he expresses his love for this person through lyrics like “I’d rather be your slave. My heads under water. Do what it takes to run it back” and ”Getting desperate. I’m invested. Feeling trapped in second guesses. A new approach is up in smoke.” It’s got all the big hooks, energetic production, and emotionally raw lyrics you expect from pop music. Coming from a very young artist, you would think it would be immature or silly, but it’s actually a strong debut with a lot of personality and I would recommend it to pop fans.
Fergus Hogan is a pop rock singer, songwriter, and performer hailing from Gold Coast, Australia. He has been writing and performing from a young age. He is inspired by artists like One Direction, George Michael, and Shawn Mendes. His overall sound is a blend of acoustic and pop. It’s polished with warm vocals, heartfelt lyricism, and energetic beats. He wants to be a beacon of hope for Gen Z by making music that’s hopeful, honest, and unafraid to feel so that people feel connected and vulnerable in an age of isolation and cynicism. Be sure to check him out!
