About the song:
Dismissed features an amazing vocal performance from Christina Siravo, a sizzling 🎸 electric guitar performance from Micah Blakeslee, and a grade A top-notch mix by the sensational Matt Pop!

We all poured our hearts into this female empowerment pop anthem! It's a bit of a 1990s throwback in the same musical genre as TLC, Pink, Jessica Simpson, and Britney Spears.

Hoyt and I composed and demoed this song back in the late 1990s while we were living in New York City. It's a very streetwise track. I used the E-Mu Proteus 2000 to compose most of the music on this. Some of those original stems can still be heard here in the official release. It was great, after all of this time, to finally take the song out of the demo phase and make a proper recording of it. We owe Matt Pop a great deal of gratitude because he really breathed new life into our song.

Join us on our musical journey as Candy Apple Blue "Breakthrough"!

Sincerely, Carly Emerick

Spoken Intro: Whatcha tryin' to say, girl?

Intro:
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no

Verse 1:
I've been down this road too many times
Brother, we're approaching a stop sign

Spoken: Alpha low brother check it out now

Lead-In 1:
You should learn to show respect
Don't need you breathing down my neck
Coming at me with the same old lines

Chorus:
Cause you're never gonna love me with a low opinion of me
Whatcha think you're gonna get your wish if you persist?
No, your never gonna taste my lips, get acquainted with my tenderness
I can't believe you're trying this, baby you're dismissed

Verse 2:
I've been fooled before by better men
Let me make it clear I don't intend

Spoken: Alpha low brother check it out now

Lead-In 2: 
To stand for everything you say
You don't talk to me that way
Roll the credits this is where it ends

(Repeat Chorus)

Post Chorus:
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh dismissed
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh dismissed

(Repeat Chorus)

Spoken:
Cause you're never gonna love me with a low opinion of me
Whatcha think you're gonna get your wish if you persist?
And No, your never gonna taste my lips, get acquainted with my tenderness
I can't believe you're trying this, baby you're dismissed

Chorus:
No, you're never gonna love me (oh, you're never gonna love me) with a low opinion of me
Whatcha think you're gonna get your wish if you persist?
Cause I can and I will resist, (I will resist) you can cross me off your list (Cross me off your list)
I've had about enough of your sh*t, baby you're dismissed

Chorus: 
No, you're never gonna love me (you're never gonna love me) with a low opinion of me
Whatcha think you're gonna get your wish if you persist?
If you think I'm gonna change my mind (Won't change my mind)
If you think I'm gonna waste my time (Don't waste my time)
If you think I'm gonna be your b*tch, baby you're dismissed

Chorus:
Cause you're never gonna love me (oh, you're never gonna love me) with a low opinion of me
Whatcha think you're gonna get your wish if you persist?
No, you're never gonna taste my lips, (Won't taste my lips) get acquainted with my tenderness (My tenderness)
I can't believe you're trying this
Baby, you're dismissed
