Sarah Darling, close friend and collaborator Emily Shackleton, co-wrote “Pretender,” and Cameron James, who also served as co-producers. “Pretender,” a contemporary New Country song with a cool California vibe, tells the story of a lesson learned. “When I wrote this song, I was thinking about the kind of selfish lover that keeps you tied up. They give you just enough to make you believe in the relationship, but for them it’s game more. They have the power and don’t care who their heart breaks. There’s a youthful idealism seeping away in the memory of this song,” Darling offers.
