Vincent Mason attempts to navigate what feels like a case of incurable heartbreak in his new song, “Heart Like This.”
The tune, penned by the Interscope/UMG Nashville/Music Soup artist alongside Cary Barlowe and Jaxson Free, exposes the raw reality of losing someone who once brought nothing but love and comfort to life. Mason takes a deep dive into his emotions and draws out an honest look into his vulnerable songwriting as he finds himself questioning how to repair his pain.
Opening Up About The Aftermath Of A Breakup
The opening verse illustrates what his heart looked like when it belonged to his ex, revealing it was once “shiny” and full of light and is now shattered and “bleeding.”
“It was good when it was yours, oh/ It was shiny like a California bar of gold/ ‘Til you cut it deep, girl, with your leaving/ Now I just can’t stop the bleeding/ I don’t know what happened/ Now you got me asking,” he sings on the opening verse.
The raw rumblings of his vocals that continue throughout the relatable chorus is enough to send a chill up a listener’s spine, causing them to fall further into the trance of the soft guitar storms and heavy energy.
“What do I do with this bruised up, broke down/ Barely holding on thing in my chest?/ What do I do with this damn near flatlining/ Nose diving beat leaving me a wreck?/ With the shape that you left it, baby/ I bet it ain’t got too much love left in it to give/ So what do I do? What do I do with a heart like this?”

He also noted that “Heart Like This” is exactly the kind of music he wants to fill his growing discography with.
