ā€œI hope our fans love this song as much as we do,” said Maddie. “Anything we ever do we have them in mind and want to always create music they can connect with. We have a big story to tell on this album, and ‘Friends Donā€™t’ is the beginning of it all.ā€

ā€œIt feels so good to be back with a song like Friends Donā€™t,” added Tae. “This song is everything weā€™ve always been. Honest, vulnerable and confident. We canā€™t wait for our fans to hear the rest of the record.ā€

Maddie & Tae broke through with their debut single Girl in a Country Song, which was released in 2014 and went to number one. They were the third female duo in 70s years to top the Country Airplay Charts with their debut single.
