Warner Music Nashville’s Tyler Braden has unveiled his latest single, ‘How It Starts,' now available for streaming on all platforms. Co-written by Braden alongside Luke Niccoli and Lydia Vaughan, the track showcases Braden’s signature blend of heartfelt storytelling and powerhouse vocals, delivering an upbeat twist on a classic breakup theme.
A Breakup Song with a Fresh Perspective
Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, Braden shared:
“‘How It Starts’ is kind of our upbeat take on a breakup song. Obviously, it's always difficult to go through something like that—it’s going to start hard. But, you know, what do they say? All the highest climbs have the most beautiful views. It’s not always going to stay difficult; things are always going to get better, always going to get easier. We just wanted to capture that in a fun, upbeat way, and that's what this song is all about.”
‘How It Starts' follows the massive success of ‘Devil You Know' which has amassed nearly 200 million streams and garnered over 10 million views on social media in just two weeks after its release earlier this year. Another standout track, ‘Above The Water' continues to connect with fans through its deeply personal message and anthemic sound.
