MADDIE & TAE CELEBRATE THE FIVE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF

Artist: Maddie & Tae

Maddie & Tae are celebrating the fifth anniversary of their No. 1 song, “Die From a Broken Heart,” with an acoustic version of the song.

Back when they released the song to country radio, Maddie & Tae talked about writing “Die From a Broken Heart” based on a real-life situation.

“We wrote ‘Die from a Broken Heart’ two weeks after an actual break up that I had gone through,” said Tae. “But I’m so, I don’t know. 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 added, “I knew she did not want to write a breakup song that day, but I was like ‘there’s something so special here.”
