And So It Went

The Pretty Reckless

Jagged guitar riffs and a haunting children's choir anchor this heavy rock anthem. Momsen's raspy vocals cut through thick distortion with a sense of righteous fury.

And So It Went is a massive, high-stakes rock anthem that feels both timeless and urgently modern. It is built on a foundation of thick, bluesy riffs that recall the golden age of grunge, but it is polished with a 21st-century sheen that makes every drum hit feel like a physical blow. The centerpiece of the track is the interplay between Taylor Momsen's gravelly, powerhouse delivery and the guest appearance of Tom Morello, whose guitar work adds a layer of mechanical, stuttering chaos that elevates the song beyond standard radio rock.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from Momsen's gritty verse into the explosive, wide-screen chorus where the children's choir joins in
Tom Morello's mid-track solo featuring his unmistakable pitch-shifting and rhythmic scratching techniques
The final breakdown where the instrumentation strips back to a heavy stomp and the haunting and so it went refrain
