Madi Diaz has shared the brand new single, "Don’t Do Me Good” as the second taster of her forthcoming album, Weird Faith.

Following lead single, “Same Risk,” the track showcases Diaz’s collaborative spirit as she mourns the inevitable end of a relationship alongside musician and friend, Kacey Musgraves.

“I wanted this song to feel like calling your friend,” explains Diaz. “That moment of needing to commiserate and to have that person say ‘yeah, I've been there’ and share that experience with you." Speaking more to the collaboration with Musgraves, she continued: “I am so happy Kacey said ‘yes’ when I asked her to sing on "Don’t Do Me Good.". This song would have been so awfully lonely without her and I am so grateful I get to hear her voice on this with mine.”

“This song is about that person that we keep coming back to,” Diaz explains, “no matter how many times they let us down. It's about waking up every day and making the choice to love a person unconditionally while it’s simultaneously getting harder and harder to ignore that nothing is getting better in the relationship. It’s stubborn, it’s defiant, it's hopeful, and it's aggressively optimistic. It’s about being a bit of a masochist and being so in love with the hard work of loving a person that you don’t know how to walk away from them.”

Madi Diaz's forthcoming fifth studio album, Weird Faith, is set for release on 9 February via ANTI-, and is available to pre-order now.
