Welcome to Buzz, Hillary! Your sophomore single, “Never Met,” is packed with energy and emotion. What inspired you to write this cathartic song?
Hi! Thank you so much for having me! I wrote Never Met after my ex told me “they never loved me”. Hearing that hurt a lot, as it would for anyone. I immediately thought to myself, “I wish we never met”. And that’s what sparked the idea!
This song has a powerful alternative-punk vibe. How did you decide on this particular style for “Never Met”?
One of my favorite music genres is pop punk. I wanted Never Met to embrace the Pop style of music, but with a sharp twist on it.
Can you share a bit about your songwriting process for "Never Met"? What was that experience like on a personal level?
The songwriting process for Never Met was a bit difficult, because I was going through so many emotions during this time. I was brainstorming for awhile style wise and lyric wise, just playing around with ideas. I sat down with my co writer Griffith Frank and we went through all the possible ideas that made this song what it is today. The most difficult part of writing Never Met was realizing that at this point, I was so over my ex, I just didn’t care anymore. All the pain and suffering I was going through after the breakup, I was just over it at this point. And although it’s a good thing to move on, it’s still extremely painful. No one said moving on from someone you loved was ever going to be easy, and I think this song really showcases that.
How does “Never Met” compare to your previous single, “Love Spell”? What’s different this time around?
The main difference between Never Met and Love Spell are the lyrics and story behind the songs. Never Met was definitely more of a personal song, compared to Love Spell which was a fun Halloween style song. Love Spell was the first single I released, and I absolutely love it, but Never Met, the story behind that just hits me at a different level.
What do you hope listeners take away from “Never Met,” especially those who might be going through a similar situation?
I hope listeners understand the meaning behind it, and know that breakups hurt, but they do get better with time. I don’t think I will ever be 100% healed from this breakup that the song is about, or any breakup, but the pain gets a bit better each day, and eventually it does get easier to deal with. When I wrote Never Met, I was so done with being hurt all the time, not just in the moment of healing from the breakup but also during the relationship. I wasn’t treated right when I was dating this person, they weren’t mean to me or anything like that, but they didn’t give me the time of day, and I cared so deeply about them. In the song, I literally scream “I wish we never met”. But I hope listeners understand that relationships teach you something, and I now know that I have a lot that I took away from this relationship and it’s actually helped me become a better and stronger person.
