Moore's private life has been much-discussed in the media, including her previous relationships to actors Wilmer Valderrama and Zach Braff, and tennis player Andy Roddick. Moore is scheduled to appear in several films over the course of 2006 and 2007. Briefly, her music career was on hold, having parted ways with her record company.
Moore stated in early 2006 that she missed her music career and that singing is what she is the "most passionate about". According to her official website, she is collaborating with artists including Chantal Kreviazuk, Michelle Branch, and Rachael Yamagata on a new album. Moore had signed to Epic Records after her contract with Sire Records ended, but left the company in May 2006. She reportedly signed with a new EMI Music-owned record company, The Firm, in July of that year. Moore had described her new contract as "especially exciting" and specified that she planned to release her next album in 2007.
The album, entitled "Wild Hope" was co-written by Mandy. It was recently released on June 19, 2007. A change of pace from her usually dance-pop sound, Mandy's new album features a more folk sound, and is a refreshing change.
Since the release of Moore's 2007 album, she has been performing in smaller venues than her early audiences are used to but is still making a huge wave in the music industry. Mandy Moore won't let us forget her quite yet. Moore's sixth studio album, Amanda Leigh, was released on May 26, 2009. As a follow-up over a decade later, through delays due to struggles with record companies and personal relationships as well as her success in acting on NBC series, This is Us, Moore finally put out her seventh studio album, Silver Landings, via Verve Forecast Records on March 6, 2020. All songs were co-written by Dawes lead-singer, Taylor Goldsmith, and producer, Mike Viola, with a few tracks including co-writers like Lori McKenna and Natalie Hemby (of The Highwomen).
Mandy Moore completed a residency of 4 nights at Los Angeles club, The Bootleg!, where she played with musical guests like Dan Wilson and aforementioned Natalie Hemby. Moore will tour the U.S. spring of 2020.
Ladies Choice
Mandy Moore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I asked you not to
Look where it got you
I'm sure
You heard it before
But, how could you?
Baby, why would you?
Goodbye, sweetheart
Countdown started
Words are heavy
But I'm far from broken hearted
Goodbye stranger
I'll take the fall
Lies were tempting
You know you never really threw me off at all
[Chorus:]
Go ahead
Waste your time
Count me out
Take your place at the end of the line
Raise a glass
No surprise
Here's to us at the end of the line (Oh, yeah)
Here's to us at the end of the line (Oh, yeah)
I'll miss the version of you
Who loved me
And all that they don't see
You said you could be good
Somehow you're guilty
And you're not even sorry
[Bridge]
[Chorus x2]
In Mandy Moore’s song Ladies’ Choice, the lyrics explore the aftermath of a failed relationship. Moore sings about how her partner did everything she asked him not to do and as a result, they have reached the end of their relationship. The opening lines, “you did everything I asked you not to, look where it got you” convey a sense of regret, as though she wanted their relationship to work, but her partner pushed her away. She goes on to ask, “how could you? Baby, why would you?” This suggests that she doesn’t understand why he would behave in a way that ultimately led to their downfall.
The chorus, “go ahead, waste your time, count me out, take your place at the end of the line” conveys a sense of finality and acceptance from Moore’s perspective of their relationship ending. The repetition of “here’s to us at the end of the line” suggests a sense of resolution and both parties accepting the end of their time together. In the second verse, Moore sings “you said you could be good, somehow you’re guilty and you’re not even sorry”. This line suggests a sense of disappointment in her partner’s behavior, further emphasising that despite trying, it was not enough to save their relationship. Overall the song Ladies’ Choice is a poignant reflection of a relationship that has ended, and the fallout that comes with it.
