Chayne’s fifth single, It’s Gone, He’s Gone, delivers a confident twist on the breakup song, capturing emotional clarity through bright alt-pop production. At just 17, the artist’s sense of style is already fully formed, shaped by her British-French background and years of home studio experience. The track begins with a catchy plucked melody that sets a playful tone, soon joined by a steady rhythm section that keeps things moving without ever feeling rushed.
Instrumentally, the song is built around just two chords, but Chayne uses that simplicity as a strength. A whistled motif runs throughout, giving the track a light, almost cheeky character. Behind it, layered synths and percussion add depth and colour, creating a vibrant soundscape that contrasts with the song’s themes of emotional separation. The balance between bounce and bite keeps the mood uplifting, even while the lyrics deal with the aftermath of a toxic relationship.
Lyrically, It’s Gone, He’s Gone is direct and self-assured. Instead of dwelling on heartache, Chayne leans into relief, using dry humour and a touch of sarcasm to reframe the breakup as a kind of liberation. Her vocals match that tone perfectly — calm, clear, and emotionally detached in the best way. The result is a song that feels empowering without being preachy, lighthearted without ignoring its emotional roots.
Overall, It’s Gone, He’s Gone is a smart and refreshing entry in the alt-pop landscape. With strong production choices and a well-crafted message, Chayne proves that introspection doesn’t always need to be heavy. Sometimes, it can sound like freedom.
