Capitol Records Nashville’s Mickey Guyton released her new single “Heartbreak Song” to country radio today. The spirited up-tempo is Mickey’s answer to her debut single “Better Than You Left Me.” Co-written with Mark Trussell and April Geesbreght, the single can be heard here and is available at all digital retailers.
As Mickey explains in the Story Behind Heartbreak Song, the song idea came to her while she was touring with Brad Paisley last year. “I got word that the ex-boyfriend I wrote “Better Than You Left Me” about was bragging that I wrote a song about him,” shares Mickey. “So I thought, I’ll write you a heartbreak song, but I wanted it to be fun and something that makes you want to dance.”
Mickey was recently nominated for an Academy of Country Music Award for New Female Vocalist of the Year and has been listed as an artist to watch by NPR, Billboard and Rolling Stone, as well as, being featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today and on ABC’s Good Morning America and CBS This Morning.
