One standout track on this release, “Angel I Needed,” is a love song that reflects on the power of finding the right person. Lyrics like “You’re the angel I needed in this life” highlight love’s ability to heal and provide clarity through life’s challenges. Panetta’s tender vocals express gratitude for a partner who brings strength and light, making it a beautiful tribute to love’s uplifting power.
“Better Off Alive” takes a raw approach to mental health, heartbreak, and the importance of reaching out for help. Opening with a distressing phone call, the song quickly shifts toward hope with the powerful line, “You don’t have to pull the trigger / Nor do you need your head underwater.” Panetta’s heartfelt vocals reassure listeners that they’re not alone, offering comfort and urging them to reach out for support. It serves as a powerful reminder that, even in dark moments, there’s always a way forward.
Meanwhile, “Keep Pushing” is an empowering anthem about perseverance and strength. With its powerful lyrics, like “Grab life by the horns” and “Don’t stop ’til you take what’s yours,” the song encourages listeners to keep going through adversity. Panetta’s motivating vocals remind us that, even in tough times, we are warriors capable of overcoming obstacles and discovering our true strength.
Alongside these tracks, songs like “Toxic” and “Belong” continue to showcase Panetta’s ability to balance vulnerability and resilience. His music speaks to the heart, offering something meaningful for anyone navigating love, loss, or personal growth.
