Caitty has delivered a powerful and deeply felt musical statement with her new EP, “Written By Caitty.” This collection of four songs shows an artist who uses her music as a diary, blending a modern, dark-pop sound with the honest storytelling you might find in country music. Coming from the quiet countryside of Northumberland and now living abroad, Caitty’s songs are all about a personal journey—one of tough times, finding strength, and learning to speak her own truth.
The EP starts with “The Pieces That You Left,” a strong track that quickly sets the serious, story-driven tone. Most breakup songs focus on the person who was left behind, but this song does something different: it explores the pain of the person who chooses to end things. The main idea is that walking away from a deep love is messy; it’s not a clean break. Caitty sings about the surprising loneliness that follows a necessary, but very sad, choice. It proves that even when you are the one who leaves, you are still haunted by the past life you chose to dismantle.
This song gives us a deeper way to look at pain. It forces listeners to see beyond the simple idea of “winner” and “loser” in a breakup, showing that the emotional damage belongs to both people. The simple, strong message here is about empathy: the feeling that the impact of ending a deep love is impossible to escape. It’s a clear reminder that when love was real, the empty space you create will always affect you, even when leaving was the only possible choice.
Next is “Love You Still,” a cinematic pop ballad that takes its cues from older pop music and the gentle feel of singer-songwriter traditions. The song starts soft, with a simple piano and a light beat, setting a mood of quiet thought. As it moves along, the music builds with rich strings and wide-open synths, leading to a big emotional moment in the main part of the song. The music feels both classic and new, which helps to show how important and timeless the song’s topic is.
Caitty’s singing is pure and gentle in the verses, which makes her personal thoughts feel very honest. She moves from this quiet style to a strong, ringing voice in the chorus. This change shows the difference between a private memory and a truth that feels overwhelming right now. The song is a quiet moment of thinking about a love that remains untouched by time or distance. It’s about looking back at an important first connection—one that ended not because of fighting, but just because life moved on—and accepting that the feeling is still real and alive. It is a peaceful surrender to those old feelings, showing that you can move on completely while still carrying the gentle, permanent weight of a love that simply exists and always will.
The third song, “Suitcase By The Door,” brings a nervous energy and a dramatic sound. The music uses a constant, deep rhythm and anxious-sounding synths to pull the listener into a feeling of high tension, like an emergency. This soundscape traps you in the moment, making you think about the hard decision that needs to be made.
Caitty’s vocal style here is marked by an urgent, rhythmic feeling and sharp clarity, which highlights the feeling of deep emotion that is about to explode. Her voice goes from sounding held-back and frustrated in the verses to a clear, strong statement in the chorus. This shift shows the character moving from an inner fight to the necessary action that must be taken. This track captures the hard, painful moment when a person realizes their current life—a relationship, a job, or a long chapter—is truly over, and the time for delay is gone.
The story is all about the fight between the safety of what you know and the strong need to save yourself. It is a powerful statement that real personal growth requires being totally honest, and that sometimes the bravest thing is choosing a scary new path over the fading comfort of the present situation. The suitcase itself becomes a simple but strong symbol of a choice that is already final, waiting only for the person to find the courage to walk out the door.
“Grandad’s Story” finishes the “Written By Caitty” EP in a very sweet and hopeful way. This song moves the topic from sadness and getting better to hope that stays and how strong family love is. The main music is a soft, warm piano. This changes the focus from being personally sad to thinking about your family history (heritage). It comes from the deep, steady love of her grandparents. The main idea is about being stable and strong. It shows a real wish for a love that lasts a long time, which is stronger than the short loves young people often have.
Caitty sings this song with a voice full of warmth and respect, telling a story of lifelong commitment that feels like a blessing. It confirms the idea that true, lasting love is something real and reachable. This final song lifts up the entire EP, providing a strong and hopeful end to a collection that had been filled with hard emotions.
“Written By Caitty” is more than just a set of songs; it’s a detailed look into the mind and heart of a young artist. Caitty shows great strength by sharing her most personal stories, from the pain of leaving to the hope found in her family’s past. She proves that she is a skilled writer who can make heavy feelings easy to understand and relate to. This EP shows that Caitty is an artist who tells the truth to connect with people who listen. This makes the connection strong and lasts a long time. It’s a great record that you have to hear.
