It’s been almost four years since Maddie & Tae strummed their way into country music consciousness with their breakout No. 1 hit, “Girl in a Country Song.”
The duo found success with subsequent songs, including Top 10 single, “Fly,” and Top 25 single, “Shut Up and Fish,” but they haven’t released a new single since 2016’s “Sierra,” which failed to chart higher than No. 47.
Maddie & Tae announced via Instagram that they are releasing a new song, “Friends Don’t,” on April 27. The new tune, which was penned by Maddie, Tae, Jon Nite and Justin Ebach, was co-produced by Jimmy Robbins and Derek Wells.
“Alright y’all. It’s been a crazy past couple of years but we are so excited to announce that we have a brand new single coming out NEXT WEEK!! 🙊🎶🙌🏼 Keeping this a secret has been one of the hardest things we’ve ever done haha but we wanted this release to be extra special for y’all (our sweet, sweet fans). Thank you for being so patient & supportive. You’ll never truly know how much that has meant to us. Gosh we love yall 💕FRIENDS DON’T. 4/27. LET’S DO THIS. Pre-save it NOW at the link in our bio.”
