Maddie & Tae are poised to score a No. 1 song with “Die From A Broken Heart.” The pair co-wrote the song with Jonathan Singleton, Deric Ruttan just two weeks after the duo’s Taylor Dye went through a breakup. Now happily married to hit songwriter Josh Kerr, Tae and her partner Maddie Marlow are excited about the reaction to the song.

“The reaction to ‘Die From A Broken Heart’ was completely unexpected. We didn’t even realize that song was gonna have the life that it is having,” says Maddie. “It excites me. I can’t even tell you how much it excites me to hear our fans relate to this because it’s so our story and so real and true of what we’ve been through. Like for example, there was a mom that said, ‘My daughter’s going through her first heartbreak, and he wasn’t good for her anyways. She doesn’t realize that now, but that song is getting her through it.’ And that just gives us so much purpose and just like keeps us going just knowing that we’re doing something for people. Just being a Mom and listening to that song, you are right there with your kid, and that’s what the goal is with writing. You want to put people right in that song and make them feel like they’re there.”

First released in April 2019, “Die From A Broken Heart” has scorched the country charts in recent weeks. It will be the pair’s first chart-topper since their debut single “Girl In A Country Song” reached No. 1 in 2014.
