7Mitchell Tenpenny
Multi-platinum-selling and Riser House recording artist Mitchell Tenpenny is releasing new music with “Gone Like That.”
“‘Gone Like That’ is about the final straw in a relationship,” said Mitchell. “I love the idea of a song that doesn’t really tell you why it happened, but that it happened for a reason. And that reason is the last straw. I know everyone likes to say it, and then they come back full circle and get back together. But I wanted people to wonder what it was, what was so bad that made the relationship completely over? I’ve never seen it gone like that.”
