Brooke Eden has released a new single, âAct Like You Donât,â from her current EP, Welcome to the Weekend, and itâs got the makings of a hit for the newcomer.
The song, written by Brooke, Cary Barlowe and Jesse Frasure, finds Brooke talking to an ex, pleading for space so that she can heal from the heartbreak. The despair in the 28-year-oldâs powerhouse vocals feels like a punch to the gut.
âWhen you want to have a late night drive by / Drunk dial my phone around midnight / Say you miss me waking up by your side / Act like you donât, like you donât / Letâs play a little game and pretend / Like you donât know where I go on the weekends / When you want to show up with your friends / Act like you donât, like you donât,â Brooke croons in the chorus.
â[Writing the song] helped me work through a breakup and land on my feet on the other side,â Brooke said in a release.
And listening to the song can help the rest of us. If youâve ever been through a breakup and still long for your exâand letâs face it, most of us haveââAct Like You Donâtâ is a healing elixir that can help you find the strength to move on from a relationship that was never right.
