Caroline Romano Would Rather Be Used By You

by | Feb 23, 2024

Rising alt-pop sensation Caroline Romano has just dropped her anthemic new single, Used By You. Over the course of her last few singles – Girl In A China Shop, Tell Her I Said Hi and now with Used By You – Romano has unveiled a bolder sound that blends her pop sensibilities with dynamic alt-rock instrumentation. But, as her sound continues to naturally evolve, her authentic storytelling never waivers. On Used By You, she tells a relatable tale of unrequited love, set to a backdrop of melodic guitars and anthemic percussion.

“If I had to describe Used By You in one word, I think that would would be brutal,” she says. “It’s unabashedly honest, blunt, and real. It’s a song about the side effects of unrequited admiration. It’s about loving someone to the point that you’re willing to move mountains for them, even when they’re not willing to move an inch for you. It’s the fear of losing someone so much, that’s you’d rather lose yourself just to keep them. In the name of being honest, no matter how terrifying, this is Used By You.”

The new tune kicks off with acoustic guitars before tearing into glorious alt-rock drums and guitars, Romano’s honey-soaked vocals poured deliciously atop. “I’d rather be used by you, than you be something I lose” she croons. Listen to Used By You below:

At just 22-years-old, Nashville-based Caroline Romano has established herself as a versatile artist, effortlessly transitioning between misty-eyed ballads and fiery alt-rock anthems. Memorialising the highs and lows of young adulthood with her unflinchingly honest songwriting, she has captured the hearts of fans and tastemakers alike.

In 2022, the Hattiesburg, Mississippi-born singer released her highly-anticipated 16-track debut album, Oddities And Prodigies. She followed the album with her 2023 EP, A Brief Epic, a 6-track project that explored love and loss. With each new single that’s followed, she has continued to reveal new layers of her artistry, resulting in some of her most confident and authentic songs yet. With millions of streams already, and more music on the way in 2024, Caroline Romano is an artist whose star will only continue to rise.

This Spring, Romano will be heading on tour with Smallpools and Grayscale for their West Coast dates. Tickets for all dates are on sale now: https://carolineromano.com/tour
