Expert Answer

Managing your emotions comes with practice. As you sing a song more often, you should become less emotionally affected by it and still be able to deliver its impact. Some people don't like singing certain songs because they're too emotional for them. I’d say, keep singing it in your practice time. As you continue practicing, your body will get used to it and you won’t react to the words.

Could a pop punk song be 5+ minutes?

Community Answer

Your song can be however long you like, though pop punk songs tend to be shorter. It's okay to break the rules. This is punk after all!
