Music is all about the feeling you get when you listen to a certain song or hear a certain note that will remind you of a time, place, or even a person. When I heard my friend, Sophia Dashing, was releasing such a powerful ballad, I knew it was something I had to hear right away.

The song, “Does Love Have To Be This Way,” describes ‘the feeling of wanting to experience real love but not knowing if it’s truly attainable due to the past.’ In the official press release for the single, Sophia revealed the song explores the pain she felt in the relationship between her and her father.

I think the perfect way to put this is including the last part of the press release, which I think everyone can relate to. “If you’ve ever thought to yourself, “Does Love Have to Be This Way”? or felt a lack of hope in relationships and in love, this song will surely connect and strike a chord with its soul-stirring lyricism and emotional punches throughout its jarring message.“

The new single from Sophia Dashing, “Does Love Have To Be This Way” is out now. Be sure to keep up with Sophia on social media including X, Instagram, YouTube and check her official website for more music, news, and everything in between.

I am so proud of you Sophia; I love you and can’t wait to talk for our interview! Coming soon you guys… 😉
