Maddie & Tae released their new single “Die From A Broken Heart” to country radio this week.

The song was co-written by Maddie & Tae’s Maddie Marlow and Taylor Dye along with Jonathan Singleton and Deric Ruttan, the song is off the duo’s upcoming project One Heart To Another, out April 26.

Tae shares, “We wrote ‘Die from a Broken Heart’ two weeks after an actual break up that I had gone through. It’s hard for me to really dig into my emotions in the midst of my emotions. I’m more of like an after the point, and then I can kind of revisit it and work through everything. But I turned off my emotions for the most part during that writing session just to look at it from a logical and practical standpoint, just so that I wasn’t a mess during writing it. But that was probably the hardest one just because I felt everything that the song says.”

Maddie adds, “I knew she did not want to write a breakup song that day, but I was like ‘there’s something so special here.”
