Country duo BoomTown Saints and country star Sam Grow have teamed up on, “Heart Breaks You,” a powerful ballad that captures navigating the tough moments in life that lead to personal growth. Written by hit songwriters Connie Harrington, Houston Phillips and Josh Dunne, “Heart Breaks You” was produced by Colt Ford and Noah Gordon and released via 8 Track Entertainment/Average Joes Entertainment. Available tomorrow (August 30) on all streaming services, “Heart Breaks You” premieres today on CountryNow.com.
With lyrics that reflect the journey from youthful carelessness to the sobering realization that true love requires vulnerability and resilience, Sam Grow’s rich soulful vocals perfectly complement the duo’s strong harmonies on “Heart Breaks You.”
“From the moment I heard this song I knew it was special,” remarked Sam Grow. “Not only have I lived it, but now being a dad to my daughters it makes you even more conscious of your decisions in young dating. To get the chance to team up with Boomtown Saints with Noah Gordon at the helm of production, I was so thankful for the opportunity. I hope everyone loves this song as much as I do.”
Commenting on the new single BoomTown Saints’ Chris Ramos said, “We have been excited about “Heart Breaks You” since we first heard it four years ago. When the opportunity arose to record it with an artist as talented as Sam Grow, we were both flattered and excited."
“We have always felt that “Heart Breaks You” captures the essence of a moment in life that many people face that helps a boy become a man, and that is something that is extremely difficult to accomplish,” added the duo’s Ben Chism. “This song was masterfully penned by Connie Harrington, Josh Dunne, and Houston Phillips and spoke to us in a way that few other songs have.”
Named Music Row Magazine’s “Independent Artist of the Year 2024,” BoomTown Saints recently celebrated 12 weeks at #1 on the CDX True Indie Chart with their hit, “Blacktop Don’t.”
“HEART BREAKS YOU”
“Seventeen, yeah, you’re captain of the football team
Got your pick of a Homecoming Queen
Sweep her off her feet then it’s on to the next best thing
You think you’re something, don’t ya
Breaking hearts and taking names
You think it’s all just fun and games
‘Til a heart breaks YOU
And you’re ‘can’t sleep’ crazy
It hurts so bad drinkin’ don’t even phase ya
Can’t one night stand it, can’t don’t give a damn it
It’s just something that you gotta go through
Cause you can’t love somebody…I mean really love somebody
Like somebody really needs you to
‘Til a heart breaks YOU
You don’t know what it’s like to keep checking your phone
Not once or twice I’m talking all night long
Wonderin’ where you went wrong or if she’s really moved on
You think you’ll be alright and
She’s out with someone new
Buddy, you ain’t got a clue
You can’t love somebody…I mean really love somebody
Like somebody really needs you to
‘Til a heart breaks YOU
‘Til a heart breaks YOU
You can’t love somebody…I mean really love somebody
Like somebody really needs you to”
About BoomTown Saints:
BoomTown Saints (Chris Ramos and Ben Chism) were listed amongst a handful of new artists in 2023 in Billboard’s “What’s New in the New Year.” They have been winning over audiences nationwide since releasing their debut single, “All Trucks Go To Heaven.” Their self-titled debut EP was released in August 2023.
The duo has been embraced by such noted media outlets as Billboard, Music Row Magazine, Music Connection Magazine, Grammy.com, Women's World, CMT.com, The Country Network, Taste of Country and others.
BoomTown Saints' paths first crossed at a gig when they were both performing as solo artists. An immediate synergy between the two quickly developed and led to the formation of BoomTown Saints in 2018. The two initially pursued careers outside of music -- Chris, as a healthcare consultant climbing the corporate ladder in the pharmaceutical industry, and Ben, who was headed to medical school after graduating with a degree in Biology on a full academic and baseball scholarship. After Ben won the regional Texas Country Showdown singing competition he went on to the Southeast USA contest and finished Top 10 in the nationwide event, the tide turned and he decided to take “music over medicine.” Likewise, after getting multiple cuts as a writer on albums ranging from pop, to country, to electronic music, Chris decided to pursue his dream in music and form a band.
