Hazbin Hotel brings us 2 new songs every episode, but Vox and Alastor's villain duet leaves a lot to be desired... Join Calxiyn as she dives into why 'Stayed Gone', while catchy is disappointing when compared to other villain songs and the songs within Hazbin Hotel. This Video Essay will break down the instrumentation, lyrics, rhythm and characterization, as well as show examples of how these elements could have been improved!

Calxiyn Cares Too Much is a professional musical theatre performer and songwriter who makes video essays about Animated Movie Musicals. This video essay breaks down 'Stayed Gone' from Season 1 of Hazbin Hotel, and where it fails as a musical theatre song from a songwriting perspective. This video also provides a comparison between Hazbin Hotel, Wish, which is often brought up as 'better' than Hazbin Hotel, or that Hazbin Hotel is 'doing' the animated movie musical better than Disney - and other animated movie musicals such as The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame from the Disney Renaissance.
