Who knew that even when you love someone, you still have that fearful feeling of heartbreak because you feel like they will leave you. It seems like singer Renee Rapp knows this feeling all too well in her debut single, ‘Tattoos‘.
After teasing her upcoming release on her socials, ‘Tattoos‘ is finally out where Renee Rapp shows everyone her wonderful talent of pouring out powerful emotions into just one song. Who knew that she could sing as well as she does when she acts? It seems like acting is not the only thing the actress had up her sleeve.
Renee Rapp was already known to audiences for her appearance in the HBO Max series created by Mindy Kaling, ‘The Sex Life Of College Girls‘, playing the character ‘Leighton’. But now, she reveals herself as an extraordinary, heartfelt singer too.
In this romantic ballad, Renee Rapp opens up her vulnerability as she expresses feelings of heartbreak and being afraid of loving someone but still thinking that eventually, they will leave for something better. The stripped-back piano ballad focuses on the emotional journey of opening up to the new love in your life, but even though you love them, you still fear what’s ahead.
“And I’ll just be lonely, missing
Holding your hand when we’re half asleep
Lonely, wishing
We’d never kiss in your backseat
And that’s what scares me the most
Knowing that you could just let me go”
“I love to write music, but I’m an anxious person. For 6 years I’ve been saying I was going to release my songs then backing off and getting scared. If you ask anyone I’m an open book and I share everything. Music was the final piece I hadn’t shared. I’ve been excited and scared at the same time. I’d second guess everything I was writing— I still do. The only thing that changed is you guys. Your support for this song and the next to come leaves me fucking speechless. I’ve dreamt of this my entire life and I’m so excited to finally be sharing it with you. Heartbreak sucks. Anxiety can suck. But they made this song. They connected me to y’all, so I’ll take it any day. Hope this makes your heartbreak worth it. I love you like crazy.”
