With each new layer that Danielle Bradbery is peeling back in 2023, she’s opened her diary to her most vulnerable pages and unashamedly invites us in to experience the emotions of these ultra-personal moments with her.

She did it earlier this year when she tackled the struggle of anxiety on “Monster,” and now returns to a similar anxiety battle on “The Day That I’m Over You.”

The song, co-written Sean Spencer Small, Sam Sumser and Emily Weisband, brings the listener straight to the internally conflicting moment when you reach your breaking point in a relationship and are standing on the line of cutting ties, while gripping the anxiousness of who you’ll become as an individual once you finally make the inevitable break.

With an airiness to the instrumentation combining with how Bradbery floats her voice over the top of the verses, the overall vibe encompasses the full gamut of emotions that naturally arrive in this life-altering moment as she tries to even them out and make them make sense:

“It's a twisted feeling , but crying over you gives me meaning”

“The door to you feels open as long as I can keep my heart broken”

“The drama kinda thrills me, so even if it kills me, I can't let go yet”

As a progressive beat continually slides into the melody with each passing line, building into the crescendo of the chorus, the instrumentation perfectly accompanies the anxiety riddled questions to match her racing heart and overactive thinking as she laments:

“'Cause what will I talk about?

What will I drink about?

Who will I look for when I walk into a room?

Who will I fantasize about in bed at night?

What will my heart beat for? Don't know what I'll do

The day that I'm over you

The day that I'm over you”

Over the past decade, Danielle Bradbery has experienced ultimate highs in the country music business with Top 40 success and sold-out tour stops since bursting onto the scene in 2013 after appearing on The Voice. However, it’s been her amazing ability to take a universal emotion, grip it tightly, and deliver a piece that feels like a warm embrace for the broken hearted that has continually solidified her strong fan base as she’s grown up with them through the good, the bad, and the confusing sides of life. That’s exactly what she’s done again now with “The Day That I’m Over You,” keeping us intriguingly on the edge of our seats and wondering what she’ll transparently share next from her diary.
