"Big Mistake" by Molly Baker is an empowering break up song that will have you feeling exhilarated with its brutal honesty and healthy perspective. Listeners are given a sense of a relationship's issues with glimmers of toxicity coming through lyrics like "every time I try to leave, you act so nice to punish me". As the song gives off the sense that the end of the relationship has been a long time coming, and a difficult process, I found myself very much rooting for the speaker of the song on her path towards healing and self-discovery. Emboldened with a sense of finality, the song basks in the liberation that comes from a break up.
A catchy guitar riff repeats throughout the song, matching the determined grunge tone of the track. Molly's vocals convey the certainty in the lyrics, textured with emotions like anger through expressive highs and lows. Percussion and rhythmic singing make up the extraordinarily catchy chorus, allowing the strong message to ring around listeners' minds long after the song is over. Through the bridge, piano and lighter vocals reign in the cathartic questioning in the song before 2010's-eque angry singing builds back towards the chorus. Enjoy the resonant alternative pop rock power of this invigorating track.
