Today, Amy Lee, Poppy, and Courtney LaPlante unleashed “End of You”, a collaboration the heavy music world has been buzzing about for weeks. Teased just over a week ago with a single photo of the three artists together, the idea of a track featuring the voices of Evanescence, Spiritbox, and Poppy seemed almost too good to be true. Now, it’s here—and it delivers everything fans were hoping for.

“End of You” is unapologetically bold. It’s heavy, melodic, and relentless, a song built to hit hard from the first note to the last. Amy Lee takes the lead during the first verse and carries the choruses with her signature soaring vocals, polished and more commanding than ever. Poppy brings her melodic strength, adding contrast and precision, while Courtney LaPlante injects raw intensity with both clean singing and searing screams. Together, the three voices don’t just share space—they own it. Every section of the song lands with clarity, energy, and undeniable power.

The track balances melody and force perfectly. Lee’s soaring delivery sets the tone and drives the song forward, while Poppy and LaPlante create dynamic layers that push it over the top. When the three voices converge in the final chorus, the result is explosive, a perfect blend of strength and emotion. It’s a combination that feels fresh yet inevitable—the kind of collaboration that makes you wonder why it didn’t happen sooner.

Musically, the song packs punch without overcomplicating anything. Driving guitars, tight rhythms, and atmospheric flourishes give the track depth and energy, while keeping the focus on the performances of Lee, Poppy, and LaPlante. Every beat, every riff, every vocal moment hits with intention. This is a track designed to command attention, to stay in your head long after it’s finished.

The release is paired with a cinematic music video that amplifies the impact of the song. Each singer is showcased in a way that matches the intensity of their performances, with visuals that feel larger-than-life, moody, and powerful. The video reinforces the energy of the track and makes it clear that this is more than just a collaboration—it’s a full artistic statement.

“End of You” also marks a moment of representation and empowerment. Three women from different corners of rock and metal, each with a distinct voice and style, coming together to create something bold, unapologetic, and inspiring. It’s a reminder that heavy music thrives when artists push boundaries, challenge expectations, and own their power.

For fans, this is everything they hoped for and more. The hype leading up to the release was intense, and the track does not disappoint. It’s catchy without compromising weight, powerful without losing nuance, and memorable without ever feeling overproduced. The combination of Lee, Poppy, and LaPlante ensures that every second of “End of You” feels vital, electric, and impossible to ignore.

The excitement isn’t just in the song itself—it’s in the moment. Collaborations like this are rare, and the energy surrounding the release reflects that. Fans have already reacted with awe and anticipation, sharing clips, lyrics, and reactions across social media. The conversation isn’t just about the song—it’s about what this trio represents: vocal mastery, boundary-breaking collaboration, and the unapologetic power of heavy music led by women at the top of their game.

“End of You” is out now, and it’s impossible to overstate its impact. Whether you’re drawn to Amy Lee’s iconic voice, Poppy’s melodic command, or Courtney LaPlante’s ferocious intensity, this track delivers in every way. It’s heavy, it’s melodic, it’s empowering—and it’s here to dominate.

The single and its video are available to watch and listen now. This is one of those rare musical moments that demands attention, and “End of You” proves without question that when talent this immense converges, the result is undeniable.

Lyrics:

I toil in silence
Don’t know where my mind is
Numb from the shock of it all
Cut myself open, but I wasn’t broken
Trying to fix what wasn’t wrong

Can you feel it taking over
I know I’m not alone
If I must go, the waves should drag me out

When every lie was kept so close
Burned by the game, for what I chose
Now you’re tossing and turning
I’m pulling the plug on the dream
Cuz the end of you is the start of life for me

How was I to know?
Crystalline castles
Turned to dust in the palm of your hand
But I’m wide awake this time
Burn it down to find
Nothing inside

Can you feel it taking over
I feel it creeping in
I’m back at the edge again

When every lie was kept so close
Burned by the game, for what I chose
Now you’re tossing and turning
I’m pulling the plug on the dream
Cuz the end of you is the start of life for me
The start of life for me
my innocence was blind now I can finally see
the start of life for me
You make me feel so
Wide awake for good this time
You are an echo of a dream as it fades from my mind
Wide awake for good this time
I can finally let go of the shame as I claim my new life

Sung from a fractured lullaby
Innocence draining from OUR eyes
All I wanted was stolen
I hate all that I believed
Oh
I’m wide awake for good this time
Oh
I’m wide awake for good this time
You’re tossing and turning
I’m pulling the plug on the dream
Cuz the end of you is the start of life for me
