Following the release of their seventh studio album Cageless (2017) and its accompanying tour, current members of Hedley faced accusations of sexual misconduct with young women over the course of their career. After Hoggard faced additional accusations of sexual assault by two women, the group confirmed they would enter an indefinite hiatus.
On July 23, 2018, Hoggard was charged with one count of Sexual Interference and two counts of Sexual Assault Causing Bodily Harm. On June 5, 2022, Hoggard was convicted of sexually assaulting the Ottawa woman.
On November 8, 2018, former drummer of the band Chris Crippin spoke out against Hoggard's behaviour during his time with the band. Crippin stated he was routinely called a "f*ggot" and was told to "shut the fuck up" when he tried to speak out. In a separate interview in July 2019, Crippin said that Hoggard was "extremely rude" and it wasn't behaviour he wanted to be around.
On October 20, 2022, Hedley frontman Jacob Hoggard was sentenced to 5 years in prison after being found guilty of sexually assaulting an Ottawa woman.
She's So Sorry
Hedley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you threw it all away,
My god what's going on in your head!
For all we could've found just to let it hit the ground,
But I'm good and done, we're over and dead
And yes I'm leaving you it's obvious
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Get out of my way,
What did she say, she's so so sorry
Just get out of my way,
What did she say, she's so so sorry
She said I wanna start over today, take me back again
Get out of my way,
What did she say, she's so so sorry
She was,
You try to shift the blame.
My god are you insane,
And I'm sorry babe is all you can say
You've made a mess before
I kept coming back for more
'Cause I never thought you'd end it this way
And yes I'm leaving you it's obvious
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
So wipe that stupid look right off of your face
Get out of my way,
What did she say, she's so so sorry
Just get out of my way,
What did she say, she's so so sorry
She said I wanna start over today, take me back again
Get out of my way,
What did she say, she's so so sorry
And that's all that I can say, if you've never been let down, then this story's far from over
Everything comes back around, so be careful what you say, what goes up's gotta come down
Don't be taken back it's all because of you
Get out of my way,
What did she say, she's so so sorry
Just get out of my way,
What did she say, she's so so sorry
She said I wanna start over today, take me back again
Get out of my way,
What did she say, she's so so sorry
Never again,
Never again,
What'd she say out of my way, what did I tell her, what'd I tell her
What'd she say out of my way, what did I tell her, what'd I tell her.
The song "She's So Sorry" by Hedley is a breakup song that speaks about how a relationship can unexpectedly fall apart. The lyrics are quite poignant, as they discuss the singer's feelings about a relationship that has gone sour. At the start of the song, the singer laments that everything could have worked out well, but the other person ruined it all. The line "you threw it all away" suggests that the other person made a mistake or a misjudgment that caused the relationship to end. The singer is frustrated because they know that it could have worked, but it didn't.
The chorus of the song consists of the singer telling the other person to get out of their way because they're leaving them. The other person claims that they're sorry, but the singer brushes them off, saying that it's too late. The line "what did she say, she's so sorry" is repeated several times. It seems that the other person is trying to apologize and make amends, but it's too late. The singer has already made the decision to leave.
There's a twist later in the song, where the singer muses that everything comes back around, so it's wise to be careful what one says. The other person may end up regretting what they've done, and the singer wants them to know that. The song ends with the singer saying, "Never again," which implies that they won't be going back to the failed relationship.

Still probably my favourite Hedley song. Would have been so fun to be in the crowd for this music video!

This video is so fucking good. You can just see and feel the rage and energy he's singing about and it's so powerful, in both meanings of the word.
That being said, I wish I could have known this video when my girlfriend cheated on me so I could send her this, priceless.
Steven Fisher
Kinda makes me sad.
