I really hate that it's all or nothing. It's such a drastic change."[1][2]

Reception
editIn an album review NME's, Karen Gwee said "On break-up song 'The Worst Person Alive', Flipo ratchets sparkling, radio-ready pop-rock up to glorious, Springsteenian proportions, pushing their rasp to the edge as they belt about being made the villain of their ex's story."[5]
