Maddie & Tae’s Through the Madness Vol. 2 rounds out a 16-song musical chapter that the duo began in January with Vol. 1 of the project, and its songs mark a new step in their evolution as artists and songwriters.
But some growth is painful, and the band's Maddie Font admits there was one song on Vol. 2 that she initially didn't want to release.
"'These Tears' was one that I really did not even want to share with our A&R," the singer explains to Kelleigh Bannen during a new installment of Today's Country Radio With Kelleigh Bannen on Apple Music Country.
“I was hiding it because we had written it and I was fresh out of therapy getting into my childhood stuff that I needed to work through,” Maddie continues. She and bandmate Taylor Dye wrote the song with co-writers Laura Veltz and Jonathan Green.
