Unveiling the Meaning Behind Tessa Dalton’s “Whiplash” Single

Tessa Dalton (@daltontessa) is a Nashville-based singer-songwriter, fiddler player, and multi-instrumentalist from Payson, Utah. Not too long ago, she released an alternative pop-rock single, “Whiplash,” via Tessa Dalton Music.

Tessa Dalton – “Whiplash” Lyric Video

“Whiplash” showcases Tessa Dalton’s unique blend of alternative pop-rock that sets the tone for a new chapter in her musical journey. In Tessa’s own words: “‘Whiplash’ is about a ‘situationship’ – an undefined relationship with genuine feelings but lacking commitment and clear boundaries. It’s really an expression of internal conflict that comes from knowing something is impossible but somehow still worth the pain.”

Tessa wrote ‘Whiplash’ during a break at a recording studio. She was playing her guitar, then started recording words on her voice memo. Her producer picked up a guitar and matched what she was playing. Later, Tessa and her team paired soothing double vocals with dynamic guitar riffs to create a sound that reflects the song’s essence. This duality brings a steady progression, transitioning from soft verses to a more intense rock energy in the chorus, mirroring the fluctuating feelings often found in complicated relationships. The result is a captivating piece that blends chill vibes with an edgy rock flair, catering to listeners in need of music that resonates with their relationship dilemmas.

“Whiplash” is Tessa’s seventh release in as many months following singles “Honest?” and “One More Night.” The track was co-produced by Randy Slaugh (Colorado Springs, CO) and Ken Dudley (Idaho Falls, ID).

Tessa Dalton stated, “Some relationships go too fast and are destined to run out of gas, leaving you with whiplash and wondering if you could ever change to make it work.”
