Even in an era where abstaining from alcohol and drugs is becoming more acceptable, the problem is metamorphosing.<\/span><\/p>\n Sent several times to the ER, Gio struggled to cope up with his toxic relationship filled with betrayal, fighting, and constant psychological abuse. Regarding his toxic love relationship, Gio claims, <\/span>\u201cI was kicked out of the house broke, with all of my dreams shattered.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Gio\u2019s single <\/span>\u201cI Don\u2019t Need You Anymore\u201d<\/b> represents hurtful words uttered by the ex who left him wounded.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWriting the song just flowed and poured out of me subconsciously because it needed to. I was simultaneously experiencing it, creating it, and reliving it. It was painful, scary and also very liberating to do.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Despite all the toxic energy, Gio continued his passion for writing and singing songs. He carried on with writing his single. He believes these struggles were what motivated him to write this song.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cMe having my bank account completely drained, being homeless, and being kicked out on the streets of LA is what seeded my song.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n A Spark of Light in the Dark\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Gio continued producing the song at home, where he was accompanied by positive energy from his family.
