Breakups are rough and are usually tough to get through. The song “Heartbreak Anniversary” by Giveon recounts a breakup that he went through in the past. This song is a solo song and was released February 21, 2021.
The song begins with Giveon saying “balloons are deflated, guess they look lifeless like me,” setting the tone for the beginning of the song. He reminisces about a past relationship and goes into detail about specific things he misses about that relationship.
Giveon later asks if his lover ever asks about him. He then says he is “building his hopes up” and how his hopes are like unopened presents. What he means in saying this is that he wishes to rekindle his relationship.
Overall, the song is a slower song but later picks up in intensity by increasing in volume and speeding up a little bit.
