“180” has a nice beat that’s made to make you feel like you’re in a fairytale. However, the lyrics show this situation is anything but romantic. This song is about toxicity and the lies that cover it. Lyrics like “I stood by you, loved you, tried to understand you” and “We can’t fix this, I’m too hurt you turned me cold” takes you on an emotional rollercoaster. It’s a song that helps you realize you’re in a relationship that needs to end, and there’s no better time than now. McKay’s powerful vocals further drive the song. She takes influence from singers like Kelly Clarkson, and you can hear that in her voice. So, stream Bri McKay’s “180” to learn what a toxic relationship really feels like.
