What parents need to know
Parents need to know that "Gonna Get Over You" is a great song for young tweens and teens in need of positive reinforcement about their self-worth. Telling the tale of a girl who sets her sights on the wrong guy but has the courage to let go and look for a better match, the track encourages young adults to seek out healthy romantic relationships. It includes no mature content or language whatsoever.
What's the story?
"GONNA GET OVER YOU" is a single from the album Kaleidoscope Heart by pop starlet Sara Bareillas. This super-cute, clean song is about giving up on a bad romance while setting your sights on something better in the future: "Maybe is a vicious little word that can slay me, keep me when I'm hurting and make me hang from your hands / Well no more, I won't beg to buy a shot at your back door ... It's not me anymore / And I'm not the girl that I intend to be, I dare you darling, just you wait and see, but this time not for you, but just for me."
Is it any good?
Known as much for her solid piano-playing skills as her smoky pop vocals, Sara Bareillas combines both in this snappy track. The end result is a catchy, upbeat tone that fits the self-confident message of this song.
