California-based singer-songwriter Callie Twisselman released her newest 5-song EP, Party Lights, in February of this year. Her first single, “Breathe,” hit top 30 on MusicRow’s Country Breakout Chart and her follow-up single, "Hung Me On The Line" is certainly poised to do the same. 

Written by Ford Thurston and Brynn Marie "Hung Me On The Line" is an immediate ear grabber; an instantly likeable, catchy country tune about being swept away, then abandoned, by the one you love. Told from the female perspective, the song is one where the upbeat, shuffling melody contrasts the lyrics. However, there is something nuanced in Twisselman's sweet delivery, suggesting the hurt may not be without retribution. 

"You hung me on the line babe, you left me on Sunday
Why you always walk away from love, you hung me on the line babe
Feels like yesterday we got swept away oh no
But you hung me on the line babe
I should’ve seen it coming boy I must be blind
I gave you a million chances but you never gave me mine
Now I don’t want ‘em no I don’t want ‘em anymore, no"
