Adam Doleac empathizes with the struggle of a toxic, on-again-off-again relationship in his latest ballad to release. The country singer-songwriter — who is happily married — relates to the raw emotion stemming from unpredictable patterns with a partner.
Doleac teamed up with Andy Skib and Bobby Hamrick on “Don’t Make Me Get Over You,” blending contemporary soft rock elements into the “daringly honest” country song. Doleac sings about being stuck in a point of having hope that the relationship works out while struggling with doubt and hesitating to move forward again, notes s press release announcing the single.
“The raw emotions that follow the aftermath of dealing with an on-again-off-again relationship is something that many can attest to,” Doleac said in the release. “When creating ‘Don’t Make Me Get Over You,’ we wanted to tell a story that brought closure to those who have experienced the romantic upset of a toxic relationship. They say music is therapeutic and enhances the ability to communicate, so my hope is that through this track people are able to find the beauty in the complex emotions of a breakup.”
“Don’t Make Me Get Over You” follows Doleac’s recently-released “Biggest Fan,” serving as a love letter to his wife. He released it in June, around the couple’s six-month wedding anniversary, and included wedding day footage in the romantic music video. Doleac also recently released “Wrong Side of a Sunrise,” “Barstool Whiskey Wonderland” and more.
“Believability is huge in music,” Doleac said in an interview with iHeartCountry earlier this summer. “Nothing’s gonna work if your audience doesn’t believe you and think it’s genuine. …’Genuine’ (has) been a word for me that I try to keep all my music. …that’s also just what I love. I love family, relationships, romance, that kind of stuff.”
