NASHVILLE, Tenn. – (August
25, 2020) – Riser
House/Columbia Nashville chart-topping artist Mitchell Tenpenny
released a music video today for his new single “Broken Up,” one of the most added songs at country radio
in recent weeks. Justin Key directed the clip and previously worked with
Mitchell on the video for his 2X Platinum No. 1 debut single “Drunk Me.” Key
cast a real-life couple to play the roles of the main characters, giving authenticity
to the emotion-provoking lyrics while concurrently adhering to COVID-19
regulations for film projects in Tennessee. “Broken Up” was written by
Mitchell, Devin Dawson, Kyle Fishman and Ernest Keith Smith. Watch the “Broken
Up” video HERE
and listen to the single HERE.
“I
think Justin nailed the raw emotions between the characters in the video,” said
Mitchell. “The tension in the fight scene is fierce, just like break ups can
be. It’s a great three-minute film.”
Fans were
introduced to the song in July when Mitchell performed “Broken Up” on the “CMA
Summer Stay-Cay” online streaming special. Watch that performance HERE.
Broken Up Lyrics:
Usually I’m put
together
Most the time I’m
fine
Normally I break up
better, but baby not this time
Yeah, I don’t know
what to do about it
I’m laying in bed
about it
Yeah, I’m trying
keep my cool about it
Get up out my head
about it
But baby, I’m still
broken up about it
Yeah, I’ve had it
up to here, had enough about it
Baby, I will open
up about it
Yeah, but only if I
drink until I’m drunk about it
Lord knows I wish
that I could say that I’ll be fine
But baby, I’m still
broken up about it (Baby, I’m still broken up about it)
Yeah, I guess that
karma knows my name
‘Cause she called
me up the other night
Momma always knew
just what to say
But now she ain’t
on my side
‘Cause I’m the one
to blame about it
I’m the one that
messed it up (I’m the one that messed it up)
Yeah, I deserve the
pain about it
Wish that I could
give you up
But I’m still in
love
Yeah baby, I’m
still broken up about it
Yeah, I’ve had it
up to here, had enough about it
Baby, I will open
up about it
Yeah, but only if I
drink until I’m drunk about it
Lord knows I wish
that I could say that I’ll be fine
But baby, I’m still
broken up about it (Baby, I’m still broken up about it)
Yeah, time will
change but I’ll still feel the same
Might take a week,
a month, a year
But I’ll still
feel, I’ll still feel the same, aw yeah
Yeah baby, I’m
still broken up about it (Still broken up about it)
Baby, I’m still
broken up about it (Baby, I’m still broken up about it)
Yeah baby, I’m
still broken up about it
Yeah, I’ve had it
up to here, had enough about it
Baby, I will open
up about it
Yeah, but only if I
drink until I’m drunk about it
Lord knows, I wish that
I could say that I’ll be fine
But baby, I’m still
broken up about it
Baby, I’m still
broken up about it
I’m still, I’m
still broken
I’m still, I’m
still broken
I’m still, I’m
still broken
I’m still, I’m
still broken
Don’t know what to
do about it
I’m still broken up
about it
Yeah, I’m trying to
keep my cool about it
But baby, I’m still
broken up about it
About Mitchell Tenpenny
Since
he released his debut single, “Drunk Me,” in early 2018, Riser House/Columbia
Nashville artist Mitchell Tenpenny has set new standards for breakout success
in country music. The 2X Platinum-certified, No. 1 hit was taken from his
introductory album, Telling All My Secrets, which arrived in December
2018 and earned him the best first-week showing for any major label country
debut LP of that year. To date, “Drunk Me” has amassed over 383 million
on-demand streams. In February 2019, the “winning” singer (the New York Times) was
nominated for New Male Artist of the Year at the ACM Awards and Breakthrough
Video (“Drunk Me”) at the CMT Music Awards.
Later that year, he
kicked off his first headlining concert series, the “Anything She Says Tour,”
with labelmates and award-winning duo Seaforth joining as support. Seaforth is
also featured on the song, “Anything She Says.” In the past few months, the
singer-songwriter released two fan favorites: “Can’t Go To Church” and “Here.”
With his latest offering, “Broken Up,” Tenpenny revisits one of his
signature themes: breaking up. But this time, with his swooning tenor over a
propulsive beat, he looks inward, taking ownership of his feelings to craft one
of his most personal releases to date.
