Inés Hall Channels Heartbreak and Healing in Explosive New Single “Growing Pains” – Exclusive Review

Rising indie-folk sensation Inés Hall unleashes her most electrifying release to date with “Growing Pains”, a raw and powerful pop-rock anthem that dives deep into the emotional aftermath of a toxic relationship. With this latest single, Hall continues to distinguish herself as an artist who isn’t afraid to explore vulnerability through fierce, genre-blending sounds.

From the first note, “Growing Pains” delivers a potent mix of indie edge, pop accessibility, and rock grit—crafted for both cathartic solo moments and loud singalongs with the windows down. At the center of it all is Hall’s signature emotional honesty, transforming personal turmoil into a track that feels universally relatable.

The song opens with a contemplative softness, reflecting on broken promises and emotional imbalance, before launching into a high-powered chorus that pulses with frustration and self-reclamation. Anchored by the unforgettable hook—“I have your growing pains”—Hall captures the emotional cost of loving someone who isn’t yet capable of loving you back. It’s an anthem for anyone who’s been left carrying the weight of someone else’s immaturity.

“The chorus talks about when you date someone that is immature and you’re dealing with the consequences of them growing and maturing,” Hall explains. “That’s where the line ‘I have your growing pains’ stems from.” The sonic energy of the track is driven by standout production and a powerhouse team of collaborators. Hall co-produced the song with Ben Coleman, brought in renowned drummer Zach Jones (Sting) to lay down the beat, and once again enlisted Myles Rodenhouse (Earthquake Lights) for mixing. The final polish came from Grammy and Emmy-nominated engineer Dan Millice, ensuring the song hits hard in all the right ways.

Released on May 23, 2025, alongside a lyric video, “Growing Pains” isn’t just another breakup song—it’s a declaration of strength, growth, and self-worth. With this release, Inés Hall proves once again that she’s an artist with something to say, and a sound you won’t forget.
