Letting Go, Beautifully: Jack Horton’s “Set Me Free” Hits Where It Heals

Jack Horton doesn’t just write songs—he stitches heartstrings. His latest single, Set Me Free, leads his new EP Imperfections with raw vulnerability, an emotional crescendo wrapped in graceful piano chords and storytelling finesse. From the first note, there’s a gentle ache that lingers, like a whispered confession you weren’t meant to hear but can’t stop replaying.

Born from the ashes of a personal heartbreak—Horton’s own divorce—the song is anything but bitter. Instead, it’s tender, mature, and deeply human. “I’m grateful for my divorce,” Horton says, and you feel that gratitude coursing through the melody. His voice carries the weight of someone who’s been through it, emerged with clarity, and found peace in releasing what was once held so dearly.

What makes Set Me Free unforgettable isn’t just the honesty—it’s the elegant simplicity. No overproduction, no emotional theatrics. Just a man at his piano, letting us in on a moment of letting go. The lyrics breathe, leaving space for listeners to insert their own stories of love, loss, and redemption.

It’s not just a breakup song. It’s a grown-up anthem of love’s quiet courage—the kind that knows when to hold on and when to let go. And in Horton’s hands, that message sounds heartbreakingly beautiful.

Play it once, and you’ll find yourself coming back—not for the pain, but for the healing.
