“Hung Up On You” – Troy Cartwright

Troy Cartwright recalls a time in his teenage years when he snuck into a dive bar and fell in love in his major-label debut single, “Hung Up On You.” In the song, the singer quickly sets the scene of a fleeting romance and then gradually builds into an epic, sing-along chorus that’s all too relatable for the listener.

“I can’t help it I got hung up on you / In that dive bar, bourbon and cheap perfume / Right kinda bad for me / That too good to be true / I can’t help it I got hung up on you / I got hung up on you,” Cartwright sings.
