I remember them from like, 2015. Reminds me of a country Aly & AJ. Hope they can come back strong.

Happy to finally get some new music from them. Interesting that "Friends Don't" arrives just a few weeks after Raelynn puts out "Queens Don't".

Excited about this one! Love their debut! Hopefully it will be worth the wait! (it feels like ages since I last heard from them)

Give me some twists and turns as the tweet may imply and not those cliche "chicken soup" writings!

Definitely excited for this! I loved "Girl in a Country Song" and "Fly" deserved so much more. I only heard "Shut Up and Fish" a couple times but I remember liking it.

"Girl in a Country Song" has aged poorly for me, and I thought "Fly" was atrociously written garbage. On the other hand, I really liked "Shut Up and Fish".

Their debut album was one of the best albums of 2015, imo. I’m so ready for their next era to begin!

A live video of this song was posted a couple weeks ago. I think in the upcoming albums thread? Anyway, I remember being really impressed with the lyrics! "Friends Don't" is not a very interesting title, which made the hook stand out to me even more for how clever it was. The overall premise of the song was describing all these friendly yet affectionate behaviors that the narrator does with another person, and the hook was along the lines of "We do that, but friends don't". It did a really solid job of describing that point where you are starting to get close to someone, and it feels like you are becoming really good friends, but then you realize that there might be a little more behind it than friendship. I am stoked to hear the studio version of this! They are just SO good, I really hope radio will be receptive to their second era!!

Well this is interesting. Olivia Lane just dropped a video for a song with the same title. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aw5-op6mi8o Maddie & Tae sure have a knack for similar titles. Some might remember "Girl In A Country Song" came out days before Maggie Rose dropped "Girl In Your Truck Song". We all know who the clear winner was there. While I prefer Olivia's rendition of this title it's going to be an uphill battle for her to fight a major label. M&T's version just seems to be lacking cohesion for me personally. And honestly, Maddie looks a little bored singing it. MR

Olivia hasn't done many gigs in months, at least not publicly advertised. That is really odd to me, considering she has enough music out there. Olivia listed the songwriters on her You Tube link as well, for those interested in that type of thing.

What's really weird is that Aaron Scherz is a co-writer on this.... and he co-wrote a ton of M&T's debut album. I genuinely think it's just a bizarre coincidence. That's why I deleted my post about this last night. Didn't wanna seem like I was stirring up drama.

I honestly hope they change their minds on this one, while an ok song, I find it very generic and lackluster and the wrong type of song for this time of year. They have better songs to choose from, and I really want them to have success so we can finally have an album.

Out next Friday I love it so glad Maddie & Tae are back hope this goes to number 1 At this point I really don’t care about them getting another #1 (that would be nice though). I just want this single to do well enough that we don’t have to wait too long for the second album. 3 years has been long enough

Fingers crossed country radio likes this one, because I fear this might stall around 35 on charts and then no single until Q4 of 2018 with no album in sight. I am assuming the adds date is in a few weeks?

Just heard the studio snippet. Yikes.
This sounds like Kenny circa 2010. Perhaps it will grow on me but at this point it sounds like everything else out there.
Three years and this is the best they can do? Their first album was fire.
