## Backstory

The song is about a woman who is finally moving on from a painful breakup. She is reclaiming her independence and self-worth, and she is no longer willing to tolerate her ex's bad behavior. The song is a celebration of her newfound strength and resilience.

The first verse describes the woman's past relationship with her ex. She used to be constantly calling him and thinking about him, but now she is realizing that she deserves better. She is flipping the script and taking control of her own life.

The pre-chorus and chorus express the woman's determination to move on. She is letting go of the heartache and starting anew. She is no longer going to cry over her ex's mistakes. She is dancing through the pain and feeling alive again.

The second verse describes the woman's newfound confidence. She is no longer defined by her relationship with her ex. She is her own star, and she has dreams to chase. She is not going to let her ex's ghost haunt her anymore.

The bridge emphasizes the woman's strength. She has found her way out of the darkness, and she is now in control of her own life. She is moving forward, and she is on a roll.

The chorus is repeated, reinforcing the woman's message of empowerment. She is breaking free from the love charade and taking back her life.

The outro is a declaration of the woman's newfound freedom. She is leaving behind the doubt and fear, and she is hanging on to herself. She is finally free.

## Lyrics

(Verse 1)

I used to dial your number every night,

Thinking 'bout the way we used to ignite,

But now I'm flipping the script, I'm changing the game,

I'm moving on, babe, I'm not the same.

(Pre-Chorus)

I'm letting go of all the heartache,

No more tears for your mistakes,

I'm turning pages, starting anew,

This is my anthem, and it's for you!

(Chorus)

Hang up, hang up, on the memories we made,

I'm breaking free, no more love charade,

I'm dancing through the pain, feeling so alive,

Hang up, hang up, I'm taking back my life!

(Verse 2)

You used to be the center of my world,

But now I'm my own star, boy, watch me twirl,

I've got dreams to chase and skies to explore,

I won't let your ghost haunt me anymore.

(Pre-Chorus)

I'm letting go of all the heartache,

No more tears for your mistakes,

I'm turning pages, starting anew,

This is my anthem, and it's for you!

(Chorus)

Hang up, hang up, on the memories we made,

I'm breaking free, no more love charade,

I'm dancing through the pain, feeling so alive,

Hang up, hang up, I'm taking back my life!

(Bridge)

I'm stronger now, I've found my way,

No more darkness, it's a brighter day,

I've got my heart intact, it's in control,

I'm moving forward, and I'm on a roll!

(Chorus)

Hang up, hang up, on the memories we made,

I'm breaking free, no more love charade,

I'm dancing through the pain, feeling so alive,

Hang up, hang up, I'm taking back my life!

(Outro)

So here's my declaration, loud and clear,

I'm leaving behind all the doubt and fear,

I'm hanging up on us, but I'm hanging on to me,

This is my anthem, and I'm finally free!
