"Stop Making This Hurt" was the third single from Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night, the 2021 album that made three for Bleachers, and it's Jack Antonoff doing what he does best: hurling a bruised heart into a full-band blowout. He wrote the words, built the music with Patrik Berger, and the two produced it together, with Antonoff singing and covering guitars, bass, drums and percussion himself.
He had company, though. A sax section of Zem Audu, Evan Smith and Anna Webber blares through it, Bobby Hawk adds violin, Blu DeTiger and Sean Hutchinson pitch in on bass and drums, and St. Vincent turns up on backing vocals. It earned a Best Alternative nomination at the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards, and A. G. Cook gave it a remix the following year.
