John Paul’s new single “Cruel To Be Kind,” deals with the difficult decision to leave a relationship that has slowly and surely taken its toll on your confidence. From the first lines, I get a vision of someone who sees the warning signs but can not free himself. What I love the most is the honesty behind the songwriting. The repetition of the line, “I’ve gotta be cruel, gotta be cruel to be kind,” is a strong reminder that yeah, sometimes you have to make uncomfortable decisions for yourself. Its emotional message is relatable, especially for someone who has gone through unrequited love. It’s a raw, heartfelt release about taking back your personal power.
