Hawthorne Heights
American rock band
Hawthorne Heights is an American rock band formed in Dayton, Ohio in 2001. Originally called A Day in the Life, their lineup currently consists of JT Woodruff (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Matt Ridenour (bass guitar, backing vocals), Mark McMillon (lead guitar, unclean vocals), and Chris Popadak (drums, percussion).
The band found commercial success with their first two albums, "The Silence in Black and White" (2004), and "If Only You Were Lonely" (2006), both achieving an RIAA gold certification. Their second album additionally peaked at No. 1 on the "Billboard"'s Independent Albums chart and No. 3 on the "Billboard" 200 chart. They are also well known for their 2006 single "Saying Sorry", which reached gold status and peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart. On November 24, 2007, guitarist Casey Calvert died, leaving the band as a four-piece. Their third album and first without Calvert, "Fragile Future", was released in August 2008, surprisingly through Victory Records again, after a lengthy legal battle between the two parties.
The band's fourth album "Skeletons" (2010) peaked at No. 50 on the "Billboard" 200. The band's former label, Victory, released their first greatest hits album, entitled "", in November 2010. Shortly afterward, Hawthorne Heights left Wind-up Records to begin their own record label, Cardboard Empire. Via this new label, the band released an EP trilogy, beginning with "Hate" released in August 2011 and followed by "Hope" released in June 2012. After signing with Red River Entertainment in 2013, the band postponed the release of the third EP in the trilogy, and released a full-length concept album titled "Zero" in June 2013. The band played on the 2013 Vans Warped Tour.
In June 2014, original drummer Eron Bucciarelli left the band. In January 2015, it was announced that Micah Carli (lead guitar, unclean backing vocals) had left as well. Later that year, the band released Hurt, the third EP of the trilogy. The band's sixth studio album, titled "Bad Frequencies" followed in 2018, followed by their seventh album "The Rain Just Follows Me" in September 2021 via Pure Noise Records.
Hawthrone Heights are regarded as "one of the biggest breakout successes of the new millennial emo-punk explosion."
History.
Early days (2001–2003).
A Day in the Life were formed by JT Woodruff, Jesse Blair, Andy Saunders, Josh Bethel, and Andy Lazier in Dayton, Ohio, in 2001. They took their name from the popular Beatles song "A Day in the Life".
Their first record was a demo titled "Four Bullets for One Girl", which sold its 500 copy run in 2 months. This brought them to the attention of Confined Records, with which they released an album titled "Nine Reasons to Say Goodbye". Finally, they released a 6-song EP titled "Paper Chromatography: The Fade from Dark to Light" (which was partially re-released as part of the compilation "From Ohio With Love") in the winter of 2003.
In 2003, Matt Ridenour, bassist and backing vocalist, would pass a hotel called Hawthorn Inn & Suites on his way to work. He decided to add an e and Heights to make Hawthorne Heights. The rest of the band agreed.
"The Silence in Black and White" and "If Only You Were Lonely" (2004–2006).
Their first album "The Silence in Black and White", was recorded over a four-week period, and was released in 2004. The album was slow to build sales at first; however, soon the video for the song "Ohio Is for Lovers" began getting airplay on MTV, and the band enjoyed breakout success at radio as well as a growing nationwide fan base, and the album became Victory Records' highest selling debut. "The Silence in Black and White" peaked at number 56 on the Billboard charts. The singles "Niki FM" and "Silver Bullet" were released in 2005.
When their second album "If Only You Were Lonely" was released on Feb 28, 2006, it debuted at number 3 on the Billboard charts, powered by the lead single "Saying Sorry" which has received regular airplay on MTV, VH1 and Fuse. The Legion of Doom remixed a song from the album, entitled "Where Can I Stab Myself in the Ears?" and it appeared on the "". The remix was re-titled "Where Do I Stab Myself in the Ears".
The band performed on the 2006 Nintendo Fusion Tour. A live CD/DVD was intended to be recorded from this tour, but was cancelled, likely due to complications with Victory.
Death of Casey Calvert (2007).
Casey Calvert, the band's rhythm guitarist, was found dead on the band's tour bus at the age of 26 on November 24, 2007. The band had begun its American tour just the day before in Detroit, Michigan. Toxicology and autopsy reports stated that Calvert died of combined drug intoxication. A statement issued by the members of the band said that Calvert died in his sleep, and that his body was discovered before the band was to carry out a sound check before its show at the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C. The members of the band spent a few days mourning, reflecting, and writing a song about the death.
This song, titled "Four Become One", would appear on their third album "Fragile Future". The members also dedicated another song to Calvert called "Sugar in the Engine". In the end of the song, JT Woodruff can be heard speaking of Calvert. When the band plays old hits from either "The Silence in Black and White" or "If Only You Were Lonely", Carli stepped in and did all of Calvert's parts, until he left the band in 2015. Mark McMillon is now the current unclean vocalist for the band.
According to the results of an autopsy performed by the office of the chief medical examiner in Washington, and released in December 2007, Calvert's death was accidental. Dr. John Mendelson, a pharmacologist at the California Pacific Medical Center Research Institute, told MTV News that "Cases like Calvert's are so rare that they're almost nonexistent. It's so rare that you can't even put a number on it," and that "It's exceedingly rare that 26-year-olds die of "anything" medical. This kind of death is one in several million." Both citalopram (also known by the brand name Celexa) and clonazepam (also known by the brand names Klonopin and Rivotril) are prescription drugs, the former an antidepressant and the latter used to treat seizure disorders and panic attacks.
Drummer Eron Bucciarelli issued the following statement:
From the time of the incident we suspected a possible drug interaction as the cause. Casey wrestled with depression for as long as we knew him. He saw numerous doctors and took an ever-changing array of medicines to get better. He finally had his depression under control. According to the toxicology report, the cause of death was due to a fatal interaction between depression meds, anxiety meds, and an opiate. Opiates being mentioned along with the term "substance abuse", coupled with "rockstar" stereotypes immediately conjure up images of hard drug use and addiction, which simply couldn't be further from the truth in Casey's instance. What the toxicology report doesn't show is that before our leaving for tour, Casey had a root canal, and he was prescribed Vicodin (an opiate) for the pain. Once again, Casey was not involved in anything illegal, nor was he a substance abuser.
JT Woodruff has stated that "We won't add another guitar player or add another screamer", and that "In our albums, it'll always say 'Casey Calvert: guitar/vocals.'" Bucciarelli stated in another interview that, "We don't need another screamer ... If the fans want screaming, they can provide it themselves."
"Fragile Future" and "Rhapsody Originals" (2008–2009).
Hawthorne Heights released a demo for their new song "Come Back Home" on their MySpace page in 2007. A reprised version of the song became one of the twelve tracks that were selected for the band's third studio album. A second song was released on their Myspace, a cover of the Smashing Pumpkins song "Bullet with Butterfly Wings", which was contributed to MySpace Tribute to The Smashing Pumpkins. This cover song, however, did not become a track on the album.
Hawthorne Heights and Victory Records patched up their relationship and the band's third album, "Fragile Future", was released with the label on August 5, 2008. Jeff Schneeweis produced the album. The lead single "Rescue Me" was released on July 22, 2008. Hawthorne Heights played "Rescue Me" live as special guests on "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno as host after the album's full release, on September 18, 2010, as promotion for "Fragile Future".
"Rhapsody Originals" was released exclusively for Rhapsody as the first EP by Hawthorne Heights on August 26, 2008. It was recorded by Rhapsody, and released as promotion for the studio album "Fragile Future". It contains three live acoustic songs from "Fragile Future", and one from their second studio album, "If Only You Were Lonely".
Hawthorne Heights performed at Linkin Park's Projekt Revolution 2008 tour this year on the Revolution Stage with former labelmates Atreyu, Armor For Sleep, Street Drum Corps, and 10 Years. Joining Linkin Park on the Main Stage was Chris Cornell, The Bravery, Busta Rhymes, and Ashes Divide.
"Skeletons" and "Midwesterners: The Hits" (2009–2011).
Hawthorne Heights posted a blog through their MySpace profile stating that they had officially been signed to Wind-up Records, and had been writing and recording for a new record. The band revealed that while there is not a new member of the band and no replacement was made for Hawthorne Heights former vocalist, Casey Calvert, the new album would feature a new "screamer". While on tour, Hawthorne Heights announced that Micah Carli would now be providing screaming vocals for the band.
As the album was being recorded, lead singer JT Woodruff and drummer Eron Bucciarelli named two songs from the record on several occasions, leading many to believe that they would be released as singles. Acoustic versions of the two songs were also said to have been recorded. The songs are entitled "Here I Am" and "Nervous Breakdown". "Nervous Breakdown" did become the first single from the album on March 23, 2010. On October 2, 2009, both Woodruff and Buicarelli posted updates on their Twitter pages saying that they had just finished gang vocals for the record. Woodruff stated "Just finished up doing gang vocals on a few songs. Return to hardcore!"
On October 14, an e-mail was sent out to the official mailing list telling fans that the new album would be titled "Skeletons" and would be released in early 2010. The e-mail stated:
<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />Lots of big HH news for you today folks!
For starters, we will release our new album, titled "Skeletons", in early 2010! Secondly, as you should know already, we're kicking off Never Sleep Again '09 with Just Surrender, Monty Are I, Punchline, Anarbor, and Nightbeast on November 2! Get your tickets here and get them today because we will be giving away a limited amount of collectible download cards at each show which include one of our new songs, "Unforgivable" along with some other goodies.
This is your first chance to hear some of our new music, so make sure you get your tickets early and get to the shows early, because once they're gone, you'll have to wait until the album comes out! We'll see you this Fall!
Not all of the bands mentioned, however, ended up joining Hawthorne Heights for the 2009 Never Sleep Again tour.
As promised, download cards for the song "Unforgivable" were distributed while on tour. In addition, a song entitled "End of the Underground" has been performed live.
After the Never Sleep Again 2009 tour, frontman JT began performing several solo acoustic shows with songs he had written outside of Hawthorne Heights.
The track listing for the album was announced on February 5, 2010. "Skeletons" was released on June 1, 2010. According to JT Woodruff's February "SayNow" voice message (also uploaded on the band's Twitter), Micah Carli plays ukulele, mandolin, and various other "weird instruments" in the lute family for many of the bonus tracks on "Skeletons".
Victory Records announced the release date for their "best of" compilation of Hawthorne Heights songs, entitled "". The album was released on November 9, 2010, and contains 16 songs taken from the band's first three Victory Records' studio albums.
Cardboard Empire and EP trilogy (2011–2012).
In July 2011, Hawthorne Heights parted ways with Wind-up Records and created their own record label, Cardboard Empire. The band will be self-releasing a trilogy of EPs, beginning with "Hate", released August 23, 2011. Each EP will be released within four or five months of the prior release. Between releases the band will embark on various North American tours.
On August 11, 2011, the album art and track listing for "Hate" was revealed. The next day the band premiered one of the EP's tracks, "Four White Walls". The EP leaked onto the internet on August 21, 2011. Hawthorne Heights plans to release a music video for each track from "Hate", the first for the song "Is This What You Wanted?".
On April 24, 2012, the band announced that the second EP in the trilogy, titled "Hope", would be released on June 5, 2012. They also announced dates for their Summer of Hope tour, in support of the EP, which began on June 1 and will end on July 14.

It was announced that the band has signed with Red Entertainment. They released a new album titled "Zero" on June 25, 2013. The band played at Vans Warped Tour 2013 on all dates. It was as part of this announcement that Mark McMillon of The Story Changes was formally introduced as part of the band, though he had been a touring member for many years.
On June 1, exactly 10 years after Hawthorne Heights' debut album "The Silence in Black and White" was released, an acoustic version of the album was released via InVogue Records. The band embarked on a tour to celebrate the albums 10-year anniversary, kicking off the European leg in Fibber Magees, Dublin, Ireland.

"The Rain Just Follows Me" and "Lost Lights" EP (2021–present).
During their first post-pandemic tour with peers Bayside and Senses Fail, the band released their 7th full-length album titled "The Rain Just Follows Me" on September 10, 2021, via Pure Noise Records. The 10-song LP was produced by Grammy-winning producer Cameron Webb. The album's lead single, "Constant Dread", features guest vocals by Counterparts frontman Brendan Murphy.
On September 8, 2023, the band released a 5-track EP called "Lost Lights".
Musical style and influences.
Traditionally, Hawthorne Heights' music has been characterized as "angst-fueled." The band has been categorized as emo, post-hardcore, screamo, and pop-punk. Likewise, Hawthorne Heights's albums have been tagged as alternative rock by iTunes. Hawthorne Heights also have been described as indie rock and indie emo. Eron Bucciarelli, the band's drummer, noted that the band's sound has "always been pigeon holed as emo or screamo". In the same interview he said that the band prefers to be referred to simply as "a rock band".
While commenting on the band's first album, "The Silence in Black and White", Eron said that the "triple guitar attack" allows them to "add a lot of layering effects and intricacies to our music along with legitimately pulling in different musical styles." The album also includes feminine backing vocals provided by band member Micah Carli's sister, Graci Carli. This gave many of the songs a broader emotional spectrum not limited by gender.
Hawthorne Heights began to be recognized as melodic hardcore due to the release of "If Only You Were Lonely". After "softening their lyrical stance, incorporating melancholy keyboards and adding upbeat melodies that were a perfect counterbalance to their screaming backup chants" their unique sound became more recognized.
Even after the death of one of the guitarists, Hawthorne Heights continued to allow its sound to evolve. With the release of "Fragile Future", the band used elements of power pop. Hawthorne Heights' fourth album, "Skeletons", stylistically reverts to "music similar to their first two albums", yet is much softer. The album, however, "refuses to stomp over old ground" by incorporating "electro" and "pop punk" elements into a few of the tracks. The album also "broke new ground by adding a unique electronica sound." In addition, various other musical styles are incorporated into "Skeletons". The acclaimed blues rock track, "Gravestones," opens with "uncharacteristic western acoustics, and then delves into a more fascinating chorus, leaving the wild wild west sound and replacing it with pianos and ethereal presence."
After forming their own record label, Hawthorne Heights made plans to release a trilogy of EPs. The first of the trilogy, "Hate", lyrically deals with feelings of hate, anger, and solitude. According to Woodruff, "Hate" features more "aggressive songs" that are "a lot heavier than anything we've ever done." The EP has been compared to other screamo albums, such as releases by Senses Fail. Screamed vocals and breakdowns are prominent features throughout the album, reflecting the musical style of the band's first two albums. One review states "this aggressive side, dormant for the past few years, has finally boiled over all at once."
Hawthorne Heights' influences include Sunny Day Real Estate, Metallica, The Get Up Kids, Taking Back Sunday, The Beatles, Green Day, Foo Fighters, Blink-182, Death Cab for Cutie, Tool, Jimmy Eat World, and Iron Maiden.
Controversy.
Incident with Ne-Yo.
In February 2006, as the band was readying the release of "If Only You Were Lonely", Victory Records issued two statements to fans through the band's mailing lists as well as their MySpace profile, stating that "ROCK music needs your support" and that "the No. 1 slot belongs to us." They also pleaded with fans to go into chain stores and make sure Hawthorne Heights CDs are in stock and to sabotage the sales count of Ne-Yo's record "In My Own Words", which was being released the same day. The statement said:
<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />As for Ne-Yo, the name of the game is to decrease the chances of a sale here. If you were to pick up a handful of Ne-Yo CDs, as if you were about to buy them, but then changed your mind and didn't bother to put them back in the same place, that would work. Even though this record will be heavily stocked and you might not be able to move all the stock, just relocating a handful creates issues: Even though the store will appear to be out of stock, the computer will see it as in stock and not re-order the title once it sells down and then Ne-Yo will lose a few sales later in the week.
They ended their rallying cry by quoting Winston Churchill: "Victory at all costs, Victory in spite of all terror, Victory however long and hard the road may be; for without Victory, there is no survival."
Later, group members claimed that the statements were issued by their record label without their consent.
On August 7, 2006, the band announced they would be leaving Victory Records, and sued the label for breach of contract, copyright and trademark infringement, fraud and abuse.
Victory Records then countersued for breach of contract and libel in September 2006.
In October 2006, a Chicago judge dismissed two of the three main claims in the band's suit, ruling that the trademark and copyright violation allegations were unsound.
On March 5, 2007, a federal judge in Chicago ruled that Victory Records does "not" hold exclusive rights for the band's recording services and that the band can record for any label. Specifically, the Judge stated: "The agreement contains no exclusivity provision, nor does any of its language appear to prevent [the band] from recording elsewhere during the life of the agreement".
The judge later reaffirmed this ruling on May 17, 2007, stating that Hawthorne Heights is still contractually bound to deliver two albums to Victory, but may record albums which are released elsewhere.
Wild Justice Records lawsuit.
On October 16, 2007, Wild Justice Records sued Hawthorne Heights for breach of an oral contract, stemming from a dispute over the management company's share of the band's revenues.

Initially the band was named "The Sad Eyed Sinatras" by Sorry before it was rechristened "Sorry and the Sinatras" by guitarist Danny in 2007. Danny Sinatra left the group on March 24, 2008 stating on his Myspace blog that stress, health, and family issues were his reason for leaving but that he left the band on good terms. Dave Kerr formerly of The Cherrykicks was added as his replacement with the official lineup consisting of Sorry on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Dave on lead guitar, Roger on bass and Lenny on drums.
Highball Roller (2008–present).

Sorry (band)
English indie band
Sorry (previously named Fish) is an English indie rock band from North London. The band members are Asha Lorenz, Louis O'Bryen, Lincoln Barrett, Campbell Baum and Marco Pini. The band's debut studio album, "925," was released in 2020, following the release of several mixtapes and singles.
Sorry is signed to the London-based independent record label Domino.
History.
Formation and early releases.
Lorenz and O'Bryan published several covers of Jimi Hendrix songs before embarking on original projects. Between 2017 and 2020, Sorry released various singles and mixtapes containing original material, much of which would later appear on the band's debut studio album. To this day, Lorenz and O'Bryan write the majority of their songs as a duo while Barrett, Baum and Pini complete the band for live sets.
Debut studio album and tour.
On 27 March 2020, Sorry released its debut studio album, "925". It contains four previously released singles: "More", "Right Round the Clock", "Snakes" and "Starstruck". On Metacritic, it has a score of 79, indicating "generally favorable reviews". Many critics praised the album's cohesiveness and innovative sound. Stereogum named "925" "album of the week" on 24 March 2020. A less favorable Guardian review stated that ""925" packs in more than a few disruptive ideas. But Sorry haven't yet acquired the musical vocabulary to pull them off."
The album charted on the UK Independent Albums Chart, where it peaked at number 13, and on the Scottish Albums Chart, where it peaked at number 49. The band planned to embark on a UK headlining tour to promote the album's release but had to postpone the tour dates due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In February 2021, Sorry announced a live album recorded at the South London venue Windmill, Brixton, with proceeds going toward the venue, which faced financial difficulties in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Anywhere But Here".
On 12 July 2022, Sorry announced their second album, "Anywhere but Here". It was released on 7 October through Domino Records, along with its first single, "Let the Lights On". The album was recorded with Portishead's Adrian Utley.
Genres.
Sorry's musical influences have caused debate amongst music critics and reviewers, many of whom refrain from sorting the band into a single genre. "The Guardian" has stated that "A typical Sorry track is just as likely to be inflected with 90s grunge as with jazz or trip-hop", thus defying traditional genre labels and categories. Lorenz and O'Bryen themselves have described their musical output as pop with O'Bryen commenting that "It's just a bit annoying to be called post-punk or grunge because I don't think we are that."

While Dow stated that the band wasn't necessarily done forever, they elaborated, "for now I need to take a step back and allow the work I've done to speak for itself or simply be a sign that this time in my life is wrapping up". Dow also stated that they would be focusing on their other band, Mealworm, calling it "a project that doesn't make me feel perpetually 19".

Sorry and the Sinatras (2007–2013).
Sorry initially met Roger "Rags" Segal and Lenny Thomas in North Carolina while Sorry was on tour with previous band Brides of Destruction in 2005 while Roger and Lenny were both in Brides support act Trashlight Vision. Sorry started working on new material with "Blackbelt" guitarist Danny Sinatra when Trashlight Vision split up. Roger and Lenny then linked up with Sorry and Danny to form the new group, Sorry and the Sinatras. They announced, in June, their first dates in the UK in August, taking place at The Asylum in Birmingham and at the Bar Academy in London. The group entered the studio in September in Barnsley, UK with producer Jason Sanderson. The album was completed in less than 3 weeks. "Highball Roller" was released May 11, 2009, which was generally well received by British music critics, with a tour of the UK planned but this was postponed until October with the band touring the East Coast of the US in August.
Solo Career (2015–present).
In February 2015, Scott announced plans to release his very first solo album "When we Were Kings" through a campaign on the Pledgemusic platform.

The Sorry Kisses
The Sorry Kisses are an English rock band formed in 2006 around the core duo of singer-songwriter Hayley Hutchinson and Sam Forrest of Nine Black Alps.
History.
The project was started as an outlet for a handful of songs from Hayley Hutchinson that did not fit the acoustic style she is usually known for. They spent the next year recording on a laptop computer in a variety of locations from their base in a spare bedroom in York, England to a haunted mansion in the Hollywood Hills, to a surf shack nestled beneath the Pacific Coast Highway in California.
Whilst recording in America, The Sorry Kisses enlisted the help of a number of guest musicians to flesh out their home-made sound. Micah Calabrese, formerly of Giant Drag, plays drums on three tracks, including "Think Twice" which also features the noise guitar of David Jones of Nine Black Alps.
The band were scheduled to play their first gig as a full band on 13 December at City Screen Basement Bar in York, England, but plans were scrapped due to the lack of an available drummer, with Calabrese not able to appear.
Following the completion of their album, The Sorry Kisses have already filmed their werewolf-inspired debut video for "Running Out" in a moonlit car park and played their first set of live shows at woodland parties and in flooded basements with an ever-changing cast of band-members and malfunctioning drum machines.
On 28 April 2008, the band's debut album, "Hard Drive", was released through their own Desert Mine Music label on a limited run of 100 copies, hand made by Sam and Hayley themselves. The band plan to release it digitally sometime in the near future. The album was named 'album of the week' by Manchester Music.
On 8 May 2008, the band made their first radio appearance, playing on BBC Radio York's "More Raw Introducing" show.
In 2009 The Sorry Kisses released their second album "Um And Ah" on Desert Mine Music. Like their debut album "Hard Drive", it was recorded at home by Hutchinson and Forrest and was mainly inspired by their time spent in California. The first song on the album "Ventura Sunset" was featured on Nic Harcourts show on KCRW Los Angeles and the song 'Abandon Ship' was used in the hit American TV series Grey's Anatomy in 2010.
2011 sees them release their third LP on Desert Mine Music called "Keep Smiling". The album was recorded entirely at their own Factory of Unprofessional Sound studio in North Yorkshire. It features one time Los Angeles-based ex-Love / Baby Lemonade guitarist Rusty Squeezebox on drums. They also made a music video recently for their song "Sunstorms" which features a man forward rolling across various landscapes well over a hundred times.

Sorry (Beyoncé song)
"Sorry" is a song by American singer Beyoncé. It is the fourth track on her sixth studio album, "Lemonade" (2016), released through Parkwood Entertainment and Columbia Records. The song's music video is part of Beyoncé's 2016 film "Lemonade", aired on HBO alongside the album's release.
It was written and produced by Beyoncé, Diana Gordon, and MeLo-X, with Hit-Boy serving as a co-producer and Stuart White as an additional producer. Columbia Records serviced the song to radio stations as the album's second single on May 3, 2016. "Sorry" is an electro-R&B song with a thumping rhythm created by drum beats, synthesizers and bells. The song's lyrics revolve around the protagonist dealing with the betrayal of a partner with another woman.
Due to the numerous allegations featured in the song, media linked it to the singer and her husband, Jay-Z. Upon the release of "Lemonade", "Sorry" was deemed the "most unapologetic" song on the album; critics praised the "self-empowering attitude" adopted by the singer and praised its "catchy lines". "Sorry" debuted and peaked at number eleven on the US "Billboard" Hot 100. It was certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for selling over three million copies in the country.
The song's music video is part of a one-hour film with the same title as its parent album, "Lemonade", which originally aired on HBO on April 23, 2016. It was later released to Vevo on June 22, 2016, as the first standalone clip from the album. It features a spoken word poetry by Somali-English poet Warsan Shire, Beyoncé dancing along with a group of female dancers with painted bodies and a cameo appearance by tennis player Serena Williams. Beyoncé performed "Sorry" live during The Formation World Tour (2016), at the 2018 Coachella festival and as part of the set list of her co-headlining tour with Jay Z, the On the Run II Tour.
Background and recording.
"Sorry" was written and produced by Diana Gordon, MeLo-X, and Beyoncé. Hit-Boy served as the track's co-producer, Stuart White handled the additional production and Beyoncé was responsible for the vocal production. It was recorded with the guidance of Stuart White at the Beehive Studios in Los Angeles. White also handled the song's audio mixing and mix engineering. The mastering of "Sorry" was finished by Dave Kutch at two studios: The Mastering Palace NYC and Pacifique Recording Studios located in North Hollywood. Crissy Collins provides backing vocals throughout the song.
Beyoncé first heard of MeLo-X after he had released an EP titled "Yoncé-X" (2014) consisting of unauthorized remixes of songs from her fifth self-titled studio album. She invited him to collaborate on various projects, including On the Run, her co-headliner tour with Jay-Z. The following year, MeLo-X was invited to work with the singer during the sessions for her sixth studio album, "Lemonade"; two of the tracks he worked on, "Hold Up" and "Sorry" were included on its final track listing. During an interview with ""Pitchfork"", he elaborated about his work on "Sorry", recalling that it was written in mid-2015. While conceiving the track, MeLo-X tried to incorporate dancehall influences, something that was part of his culture as a Jamaican. He described the idea behind "Sorry" as "pretty simple": "It was just some cool keys, drum patterns, and we started putting down vocal ideas and lyric ideas". Later, Hit-Boy contributed to the song, adding various sounds and layers. MeLo-X further pointed out that "Sorry" was a "vital point" on the record due to "all these different emotions and different sounds and different layers". "Sorry" was sent to rhythmic contemporary radio in the United States on May 3, 2016, as the album's second single. It was also serviced to contemporary hit radio stations in Italy and the United States on May 6 and 10, 2016, respectively.
Composition and lyrical analysis.
"Sorry" is an up-tempo electro-R&B track with a thumping and bleeping beat. "Drowned in Sound" writer Giuseppe Zevolli called it an emulation of early 2000s R&B. The 405's Samantha O'Connor described it as an "electro-infused" track. It is instrumentally complete with shattering drum beats, synthesizers and bells, the latter instruments prominent throughout the chorus. "The Atlantic" writer Spencer Kornhaber likened the electronic layers of "Sorry" to the 2015 song of the same name by Justin Bieber. He further found its chorus similar to Top 40 music, but with a "glassy-eyed distance to the song, a purposeful malaise". Mike Wass of the website Idolator felt that "Sorry" was intended as a female response to "IDFWU" (2014) by Big Sean and further found similar phrases.
The song's lyrics revolve around the protagonist's cheating lover and her way of coping with the adultery. Following the release of "Lemonade" speculations arose about the singer's husband Jay-Z's alleged infidelity with a mistress referred to as "Becky". Jon Pareles in "The New York Times" pointed out that many of the accusations were "aimed specifically and recognizably" at him. Similarly, Rob Sheffield of "Rolling Stone" magazine noted the lines "Suck on my balls, I've had enough" were an "unmistakable hint" that the lyrics revolve around Jay Z." Alexis Petridis from "The Guardian" also interpreted the lines as Beyoncé declaring she was prepared to abandon him and take their daughter along. He also found the lyrics "Big homie better grow up" as a reference of the self-given title by Jay-Z during his guest appearance on their past collaboration "Crazy in Love" (2003). "NME" writer Larry Bartleet was of the opinion that the singer was "thrillingly honest sucker-punch" on the song's lyrics aimed at Jay-Z. On the other hand, Lindsay Mannering from "Bustle" magazine felt that it was hard to determine whether the lyrics were inspired by the pair's private life due to the prominent usage of innuendos. However, she later clarified that although the song may not necessarily be autobiographical, "Beyonce has a tendency to reveal her truth through music... so it's possible that 'Sorry' references her emotions after Jay allegedly cheated on her".
"Sorry" has been described as a defiant, spiteful song exemplified in the lyrics, "Looking at my watch, he shoulda been home". The song opens with the lyrics of the hook "Sorry, I ain't sorry", with the protagonist seemingly apologizing for something, but as it turns out later, she adopts an unapologetic stance realizing she was the victim. It features the lyrics "Boy bye" and urges listeners to put their middle fingers up; the singer finds personal empowerment in those lines. The protagonist talk-sings the lines "Today I regret the night I put that ring on" in which she expresses regret over the decision of marrying her husband. She also tells her love interest that she wrote a "Dear John-type letter" for him. During one part, she sings about putting her deuces up which clarifies that she is over the relationship. Andre Grant of "HipHopDX" noted how the song was a proof of the fast-shifting emotions the protagonist feels throughout "Sorry" as seen in the lines "I ain't sorry / Boy, bye", "He only want me when I'm not there / He better call Becky with the good hair" and "Let's take a toast to the good life / Suicide before you see this tear fall down my eye". Zevolli also opined that the song's second part is "by far one of the most surprising mood-swings on the record".
Critical reception.
"Sorry" was highly acclaimed by music critics. Corinne Heller of "E! Online" dubbed "Sorry" as the "most controversial song" on "Lemonade" due to the alleged infidelity and "Becky with the good hair" mistress discussed in the lyrics. Amy Zimmerman, writing for "The Daily Beast" deemed "Sorry" by far the most iconic single and coined it as the song which "introduced the world to Jay Z's most infamous alleged mistress, 'Becky with the good hair'". She also felt that the "incredibly shade-laden line" was similar to "Drake's iconic 'Courtney from Hooters on Peachtree' reference". "Spin" journalist Greg Tate credited the line mentioning Becky for "breaking the Internet" and praised the fact that it was potent enough to promote the new material by the singer with "few dollops of viral poesy and self-inflicted gossip-mongering". Comparing "Sorry" to Beyoncé's own "style-banger" "7/11", Jillian Mapes in a review for ""Pitchfork"" noted how "she turns his side-chicks into memes, which will inevitably become 'better call Becky with the good hair' sweatshirts that Beyoncé can sell for $60 a pop". Vulture's Dee Lockett deemed the song to be a "surefire club" hit from the album with an "instant-quotable line". Ray Rahman from "Entertainment Weekly" called it a "middle fingers up anthem" which was "sure to be sung by spurned lovers for as long as there are Beckys with good hair". "PopMatters" writer Evan Sawdey opined that "the middle-finger anthem 'Sorry'... come[s] from a new place, one that is distinct, palpable, and yes, relatable". "NME" writer Larry Bartleet wrote that the singer expresses a "sorry, not sorry" stance in the song and noted how in the lyrics "suck on my balls", "the sense of release is palpable". Emily Blake from the website Mashable called the song "the fiercest kissoff we've seen from Bey so far".
A "Rap-Up" writer deemed the "Boy, bye" line as one of the album's catchiest lyrics. Kitty Empire of "The Observer" called it "electrifying". Shahzaib Hussain from "Clash" magazine dubbed "Sorry" as "another dazzling feminist club anthem, but with a grittier underbelly, the production off-kilter but no less invigorating". Pretty Much Amazing's Peter Tabakis wrote that the tracks "Sorry" and "6 Inch" on "Lemonade" were "the equivalent of a post-bloodbath hair flip and door slam". Another writer of the same publication named "Sorry" the album's "zeitgeist-capturing single". Rob Sheffield of "Rolling Stone" was highly positive of the singer's voice capabilities, saying they were "the most astounding sound... as she pushes to her bluesiest extremes, like the hilariously nasty way she sneers, 'He's always got them fucking ex-cuuuu-ses.' "Now"'s Kevin Ritchi, noted how by the time the story line of "Lemonade" comes to the anthemic "Sorry, "[t]he poison darts become sharper... and so do her vocals". "HipHopDX"'s Andre Grant emphasized "Sorry" for being "particularly ear worming" with its "softly chiming" bells. Jon Pareles from "The New York Times" summarized it as "twitchy, flippant song that's by no means an apology" but "a combative, unglossy track on an album full of them" instead. Writing in The 405, Samantha O'Connor classified "Sorry" as "flippant and fierce". "Drowned in Sound" writer Zevolli called it a "standout" on "Lemonade". Maeve McDermott of "USA Today" opined in his review that although the song was not the most meaningful one by the singer, "it's a breezy, beautiful kiss-off that's enough to tell every below-average person in your life, 'Boy, bye.'" A more mixed review came from Idolator's Mike Wass who felt that the track felt "safe" and concluded, "It's a bouncy, infinitely-quotable bop with an infectious, radio-friendly chorus, but the lyrics let it down." However, Wass went on to write that it "makes up for [its lack in finesse] in bluster and called the Becky line "an overnight pop culture phenomenon".
Recognition and accolades.
"Pitchfork" named "Sorry" the 41st best song of 2016, while "Complex" and "Spin", the 12th best. In the annual "Village Voice"'s Pazz & Jop mass critics poll of the year's best in music in 2016, "Sorry" was ranked at number 15. "Billboard" ranked "Sorry" at number two on their "100 Best Pop Songs of 2016" list: "Between "Tell 'em boy bye" memes and the "Becky with the good hair" witchhunt, Beyonce's "Sorry" ignited more online chatter than most non-Trump political campaigns this year. But more importantly, Beyonce executes one miraculous vocal tonal shift after another on "Sorry," going from pissed-off exasperation to dignity at any cost ("Suicide before you see this tear"), to small-voiced vulnerability at the very end. On "Sorry," Beyonce proves your life doesn't have to be perfect for you to remain flawless."
Commercial performance.
After the release of "Lemonade", "Sorry" managed to appear on several international music charts. It debuted on the US "Billboard" Hot 100 chart at number 11 on May 2, 2016, becoming Beyoncé's second best debut on the chart above her singles "Ring the Alarm" (2006) and "Drunk in Love" (2013). It was only surpassed by "Formation", which entered the chart at number 10 in the same week. In its second week, the song held its peak position, being the only track of the album to do so. "Sorry" also entered on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop songs chart at number 7, becoming Beyoncé's twenty-fifth top-ten single on the chart and climbed up to number four the following week. According to streaming service Tidal, "Sorry" was streamed 14.2 million times in five days in the US. As of September 2016, "Sorry" has sold 808,787 downloads in the United States. The Recording Industry Association of America awarded the single a triple platinum certification for sales and streams of 3,000,000 units in the country. In Canada, the song debuted and peaked at a position of 40 on the Canadian Hot 100 for the week ending of May 14, 2016.
On the UK Singles Chart, "Sorry" debuted at number 33 on May 5, 2016. The following week, it remained in the same position and then moved to the position of 99, before falling off on May 19, 2016, after three consecutive weeks of charting. On the UK R&B Singles chart it peaked at number nine in its second week of charting. In Australia, the single peaked at number 74 on the ARIA Singles Chart on May 7, 2016. On the component Urban Singles chart in the same country, the song attained a peak position of eight. Elsewhere, it charted at number 62 in France and 82 in Ireland and Sweden.
Music video.
Development and synopsis.
A music video for the song, directed by Kahlil Joseph and Beyoncé herself, was included on the parent visual album as part of a one-hour film which premiered on HBO on April 23, 2016. It was later released through Beyoncé's official Vevo account on June 22, 2016, as the first standalone clip to be released from "Lemonade" following its release in April. It is filmed in black and white and features a cameo appearance by tennis player Serena Williams. Williams was asked to keep her appearance secret prior to the release of the clip. Beyoncé wanted to include her in the video due to the "personification of strength" she represented; she was approached by the director and Beyoncé who were both interested in her contribution to that particular song. While filming, Beyoncé told Williams "just be really free and just dance like nobody's looking and go all out".
In the context of the album's main storyline which follows a woman dealing with her love interest's cheating affair, "Sorry" is placed in the middle, during the stage called "apathy"; the clips opens with that word written across the screen. Beyoncé is then heard reciting a spoken-word poem about infidelity written by Warsan Shire over the slow melody of a jewelry box playing a theme from Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's ballet "Swan Lake". The poem included the lines "So what are you gonna say at my funeral, now that you've killed me?" and "Ashes to ashes, dust to side chicks", the latter text referencing verses from the Bible.
As the song begins, the visual moves to scenes showing the singer with braided hair dancing along with women dressed in tribal costumes and with painted faces and bodies in a Southern mansion and a city bus emblazoned with the words "Boy Bye"; bopping and putting their middle fingers up is a part of their dance choreography in line with the song's lyrics. Adelle Platon of "Billboard" noted that the dancers' body paint was inspired by Yoruba people. The body painting was called "Sacred Art of the Ori" by Nigerian artist Laolu Senbanjo. Chris Kelly from "Fact" pointed out how it served as "part of a web of connections between Beyoncé and her lover, Africa and America, pop music and classical". Williams is also seen in numerous scenes moving around the mansion dressed in a black bodysuit and twerking next to Beyoncé who is sitting on a chair resembling a throne. The final scenes see Beyoncé dancing on and in front of the bus, before she closes the clip singing the infamous line "He better call Becky with the good hair".
Reception.
Writing for "Rolling Stone", Brittany Spanos summarized that Beyoncé and Williams "dance away heartbreak" in the "stark" clip. Chris Mench of "Complex" magazine felt the clip was a "tour-de-force of everything fans love about Bey". "Cosmopolitan"'s Gina Mei noted how the fact that Beyoncé was surrounded by "gorgeous, powerful, and independent women" throughout the video made it "a tour de force, and it's all kinds of empowering". Similarly, Zimmer from "The Daily Beast" noted how the singer was accompanied by "crews of beautiful black women everywhere she goes" in the "good old-fashioned girls rule, boys drool banger". Emily Blake from Mashable.com described the video as "the most epic, middle-finger filled girls-only party this great nation has seen". "Houston Chronicle" journalist Andrea Waguespack described the visual as "[h]eavy with African influences" and its opening as "chilling". Similarly, Alyssa Bailey in a review for "Elle", called the opening monologue "chilling" and pointed out how it becomes "a mesmerizing dance number, flawlessly executed by Beyoncé" afterwards. Carl Williott, writing for Idolator noted how the opening monologue and Williams's cameo were "intact" to the "kiss-off". Alexis Rhiannon from "Bustle" praised the fact that Beyoncé decided to release "Sorry" as a standalone video in the same form as it appeared on "Lemonade". Sarah Murphy of "Exclaim!" called the clip "already-iconic" when it was released to Vevo. Joi-Marie McKenzie from ABC News felt that Beyoncé was "having the time of her life" while dancing her worries away with the group of females.
"InStyle"'s Kelsey Glein felt that the video's best part was Williams's cameo appearance. PopSugar journalist Quin Keaney wrote that it features "memorable cameo and dance session" with Williams. Refinery29 writer Carolyn L. Todd described the tennis player's dancing as "free and beautiful". Caroline Framke of the website "Vox" was positive of Williams's cameo appearance and defiant dancing to the song's beat. She noted how its best part was the opening poem which was used to introduce the song in the corresponding film and felt that the lines she recited successfully showed that "she ain't sorry". Nate Jones of Vulture.com felt her dancing should be "marveled" at. Carey O'Donnell from "Paper" magazine summarized the clip as a "raucous, fierce ladies night, featuring fellow icon Serena Williams, in all her twerking glory". Sophie Hirsh from Mashable pointed out "Sorry" as an album highlight and praised the "endless fierceness" of Beyoncé and Williams. "Clash" magazine's Shahzaib Hussain felt that the clip for "Sorry" appeared during the album's "feverish" moments. Hussain further summarized the clip as "Queen of the sporting world Serena Williams twerking up a storm while Beyoncé looks on like a Madam, proud of her creation". The video was nominated for Best Choreography at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards, but lost to "Formation".
Live performances.
"Sorry" was part of the set list of The Formation World Tour (2016) with the first performance taking place in Miami at the Marlins Park on April 27. The song was performed second during the concerts and the singer appeared on stage alone for the beginning of the performance. She was then joined by female back-up dancers who performed a choreography in line with the song's lyrics, which included putting their middle fingers up. Dee Lockett, writing for Vulture, felt that the inclusion of "Formation" and "Sorry" as the first two songs on the concerts was a "no-brainer opening". Michael Cerio of CBS classified the performance as "fiery". "The Sun Chronicle" reviewer Lauren Carter chose the performance of "Sorry" as one of the show's highlights. "The Guardian" writer Caroline Sullivan noted how during the performance of "the bitterest songs" of "Lemonade", "Sorry" and "Don't Hurt Yourself", "she's a pillar of rage".
In 2018, the singer performed the song as part of her headline show at Coachella. For the performance, she was backed by a horn section and mid-way through the song she asked of her back-up male dancers to make her laugh. Then she performed a dance break with her female dancers during which the lines "suck on my balls" were repeated. An excerpt of "Me, Myself and I" (2003) was also included as part of the self-empowering message. The same performance was featured during the first shows of Beyoncé's co-headlining On the Run II Tour with her husband Jay Z. While singing the song, she repeatedly asks the females in the audience if they have "had enough". Writing for "The Guardian", Rachel Aroesti called it a "faintly chilling haka-style refrain". According to Ed Masley of "The Arizona Republic", the performance was a "suitably bitter rendition" with a "withering delivery of the final payoff, 'He better call Becky with the good hair'". "Metro Weekly"'s André Hereford noted that "Sorry" was the peak of a run of dance-heavy hits on the show.
On May 2, 2016, Yuna covered the song during a concert at The Sinclair in Massachusetts. French singer Christine and the Queens also performed the song on BBC's Radio 1's Live Lounge.

Say Anything (band)
American rock band
Say Anything is an American rock band from Los Angeles, California. The band was formed in 2000 by Max Bemis and his friends, and within two years, they had self-released two EPs and a full-length album.
In 2003, the band signed with their first label, Doghouse Records. A year later, they released their second album, "...Is a Real Boy". To support the album, they picked up new members and began touring; however, despite rapidly growing critical and fan acclaim, Bemis' health problems, including bipolar disorder and drug addictions, sidelined the band in 2005 as five band members left during the year.
Say Anything signed with J Records in 2005 and, following Bemis' successful rehabilitation, re-released "...Is a Real Boy" with their new label. They went on co-headlining tours with Saves the Day in 2006 and Hellogoodbye in 2007. In 2008, Say Anything went on a headlining tour across the US and UK and appeared on every date of Warped Tour.
Bemis announced Say Anything's disbandment in 2018, months before the 2019 release of their eighth LP, "Oliver Appropriate". The band reunited in 2022 and released their ninth album, "...Is Committed", in 2024.
History.
Early years (2000–2004).
The band was formed in 2000 by Max Bemis and four of his friends as Sayanything. Within two years, they self-released two EPs, "Junior Varsity" and "In Your Dreams", and the full-length "Baseball: An Album by Sayanything".
In 2002, Sayanything added a space to their name to become Say Anything. In late 2002, Bemis and Linder recorded the "Menorah/Majora" EP and released the album online. By this point, Say Anything's releases had generated "a major bidding war". Drive-Thru Records pursued the band and called Max Bemis "the next Bob Dylan." Brett Gurewitz of Epitaph Records recorded "A Boston Peace," one of the dorm-room demos, with the band. In early 2003, Say Anything signed with Doghouse Records stating sarcastically that Doghouse "put out such obscure, borderline D.I.Y. records as "The All-American Rejects"."
After signing with the label, Bemis began writing songs for his band's Doghouse debut. Bemis went into the studio with Florida producer Paul Trust. They recorded 3 songs that were not released although one of the songs entitled "Spider Song" would later appear on a Doghouse compilation. With tremendous self-created pressure, he threw himself into pushing the sonic boundaries of the band and maturing their sound, incorporating elements of math-rock, indie-pop and theatrical pomp.
