Country music duo Maddie & Tae‘s “Die From A Broken Heart” music video’s powerful treatment was predominately written by the award-winning pair, taking fans on a crushing journey through the demise of a young couple’s relationship with Taylor Dye stepping into the acting chair, while Maddie Marlow sets the scene narrating with striking vocals in the Carlos Ruiz-directed video.
“We knew that with a song like ‘Die From a Broken Heart,’ the music video needed to come from that same vulnerability and that’s exactly what we did,” Taylor Dye shared. “We went back and forth with our director Carlos Ruiz for weeks just trying to make sure we had all the tools to make this story come to life. This music video was healing for me and I hope it plays a part in someone else’s healing as well.”
“Fans can expect to see a completely different side to me,” says Taylor Dye. “I’ve never been the kind of gal who wears her heart on her sleeve, but this is the moment where I just let it all, let it all HANG OUT, BABY!”
“It’s very emotional. It’s probably the most emotional video we’ve ever filmed, and I’m just so proud,” says Maddie Marlow. “Tae just killed it. We’re getting an agent like stat, because she was so good. Yeah. I can’t wait. I hope people can feel the emotion that was put in the song and to the video.”

“Die From A Broken Heart” Lyrics
Hey Momma, how do you get a red wine stain
Out of your favorite dress?
Black mascara off a pillow case?
Cure a one-too-many headache?
Momma can I come and maybe stay a few days
This weekend or next?
And hey, how do you get a red wine stain
Out of your favorite dress
How does he sleep at night?
Momma, the nerve of this guy
To leave me so easy
Am I gonna be alright?
I wanna kick myself for falling so hard
Momma, can you die from a broken heart?
Can you ask Daddy if he’s got time
To come and look at my front door
It got slammed last night
And now it don’t close right
And just promise that you won’t tell him everything
And keep that pistol in the drawer
Momma, please don’t say
I’m gonna laugh about this someday
You didn’t see the way he drove away
How does he sleep at night?
Momma, the nerve of this guy
To leave me so easy
Am I gonna be alright?
I wanna kick myself for falling so hard
Momma, can you die from a broken heart?
Oh, a broken heart
Can your knees give out from praying so hard?
Can you go blind from crying in the dark?
Was it ever really real
If he don’t feel like I feel?
How does he sleep at night?
Momma, the nerve of this guy
To leave me so easy
Am I gonna be alright?
How does he sleep at night?
Momma, the nerve of this guy
To leave me so easy
Am I gonna be alright?
I wanna kick myself for falling so hard
Momma, can you die from a broken heart?
A broken heart?
