WhoHurtYou release new music video for ‘Wish We Never Met’

WHOHURTYOU have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Wish We Never Met, is the debut single from ALL TIME LOW guitarist Jack Barakat and singer/songwriter Kevin Fisher. The debut song is the first song off the band’s forthcoming Stages EP, expected later this year. Each of the EP’s songs will examine a different stage of what the duo refer to as “breakup grief”.

During the writing process for ALL TIME LOW’s seventh album, Last Young Renegade, Barakat befriended Kevin Fisher aka Sweet Talker [ONE REPUBLIC, 5 SECONDS OF SUMMER, ANITTA], who co-wrote Life of the Party and Dark Side of Your Room. Finding themselves in similar emotional states in the autumn of last year, the two reunited in the studio with no agenda beyond self-expression. After two sessions, their musical union crystallised as WHOHURTYOU.

“A lot of people think of me as ALL TIME LOW‘s comic relief, but everyone has their ups and downs, and last year was really tough for me. I handled my first big breakup in all of the wrong ways and ended up in therapy after some close friends encouraged me to seek help. Kevin had gone through a similar rough patch and shared with me that songwriting really helped him through it” shares Barakat. “I was already on the other side of it, so I had a perspective to share. My experience in therapy taught me how powerful of a tool songwriting can be, so I invited Jack to come hang at the studio,” adds Fisher. “We want to send the message that therapy is something no one should be ashamed of. If these songs helped us so much, maybe they could help other people.”
