The song is available on all digital platforms
Platinum-selling Riser House/Sony Music Nashville recording artist Mitchell Tenpenny is kicking off the new year with a new song and music video as he releases “Breaking My Heart” across all digital platforms. The track, written by Mitchell, Ashley Gorley, Chase McGill and Jordan Schmidt, is the follow-up to his Top 10 radio smash “We Got History.” The video was filmed at various locations around Middle Tennessee and was directed by Zach Pigg.
The mid-tempo track spotlights Mitchell’s signature flawless whispered delivery as the song finds the male character lamenting over a breakup that won’t stop hurting in the face of an ex who is moving on. “Breaking My Heart” is the first of more new music to be released in 2024.
“‘Breaking My Heart’ was written about going through a breakup and trying to get your ex off your mind. You keep trying to do things and go different places but it seems like every single thing reminds you of them,” Tenpenny shares. “I remember once during a breakup, I kept seeing her specific car (make, model, and color) all the time. They were just driving around me every day. I couldn’t escape it. So that concept was what I thought about when I came up with the idea for this song. There are things in life that happen that instantly bring you back to a time with someone else. Maybe a song comes on the radio that reminds you of them, maybe someone brings them up in a story, maybe it’s a bar you like to go to, or even a favorite food you like to eat. That’s what the heart of this song is truly about. Sometimes things are unescapable, especially after a break up with someone you might have thought is the one. But all you’re asking for is a chance to get over them but reminders of them keep showing up everywhere and there is nothing you can do about it.”
Tenpenny returns to Cancun, Mexico this weekend as he participates in Luke Bryan’s Crash My Playa destination concert event for the second time. The country star is hitting the road this year with Luke Combs on the Growin’ Up and Gettin’ Old Tour and Jordan Davis’ The Damn Good Time Tour.
