Review
“Again” doesn’t pull any punches; it’s a raw, modern take on heartbreak that nails the painful cycle of being emotionally strung along. Woodruff sets the stage immediately, describing her toxic attraction as a destructive “Moth to a flame.” The vulnerability is palpable, especially as she sings about waiting and wondering if this person will even bother to “plan on coming around.”
The track really shines in the chorus. It’s incredibly catchy and captures the whole frustrating dynamic instantly: “You come over again / I pour you a drink / Always ends up like this / You want to leave / Won’t spend the night with me / I beg you to stay once again.” By repeating this central refrain and using the bridge to drive the point home, the song perfectly conveys that feeling of being absolutely stuck in an emotional loop.
Ultimately, “Again” shines as an honest, tightly-written pop song that perfectly captures the agonizing push-pull of a toxic connection. Woodruff’s unflinching focus on the emotional cost of these brief encounters will deeply resonate with anyone who’s ever been stuck in a cycle they can’t break. This is a solid, emotionally charged single that you won’t easily forget.
