"Hypocrite" is the newest single from Allison Park, its lyrics aptly defining the song's title. Park describes how it can be easy to make fun of others or criticize what they do or what kind of person they are without fully understanding their situation, but its not okay to do this. "Hypocrite" is the song that matches with the phrase "when you point at someone, three fingers point back at you". Park and her sister, Dani, also implement other expressions in the songwriting, including, "And what's that dish best served cold?", alluding to revenge; this is just one of the ways in which they are both great lyricists.
A piano ballad, dark pop, and modern jazz all come together to create the sound of "Hypocrite". Immersive bass has its moments alongside powerful string arrangements and hi-hats that fit with the tempo of the song, and then increase in tempo as it continues. "Hypocrite" becomes more powerful in regards to its production style and overall vibe as it advances. Park has a fantastic voice and sings perfectly for this baroque-inspired single. There are also amazing drum fills in the latter half of the song. Dani was the producer as well, along with Cole Phillips, and they did an amazing job. The songs sounds like it could be played over James Bond taking out a villain in a movie installment for the series.

She first began her music career in 2011 with debut EP Listen, and has released multiple songs since.
