Timmy McKeever Leans Into 1950s-Inspired Country Soul on New Single “Break My Heart Tonight”

ne of Nashville’s most buzzed-about newcomers Timmy McKeever is showing a raw and unfiltered side of heartbreak with the release of his brand-new song, “Break My Heart Tonight,” available everywhere now. Listen here.

“I wanted this song to feel like one of those late-night conversations where there’s no use sugarcoating anything anymore,” McKeever shares. “It’s about facing heartbreak head-on, without the games, without the drama. Sonically, it’s a little left-of-center for me, leaning into this nostalgic, 1950s-inspired vibe that I haven’t really explored before. I can’t wait for my fans to hear it.”

Written with sharp honesty and delivered through McKeever’s signature soulful vocals, “Break My Heart Tonight” strips away the dramatics of a breakup and instead embraces the painful truth head-on. The track balances tender vulnerability with bold delivery as McKeever pleads for honesty over prolonging the inevitable.

The release of “Break My Heart Tonight” comes on the heels of McKeever’s recent single “Hold You To It” and a run of tour dates with Gabby Barrett, as he prepares to join Ryan Hurd on his tour this fall.

ABOUT TIMMY MCKEEVER

Rapidly emerging as one of country music’s most compelling new voices, Timmy McKeever is stepping confidently into his next chapter with two major announcements: a signing to powerhouse label Big Loud, and the release of new music. His latest single, “Break My Heart Tonight,” is out now, showcasing his raw, emotional storytelling and further cementing his reputation as a rising star. Earlier this summer, he released his label debut single, “Hold You To It” (August 1), marking his official introduction under the Big Loud banner and placing him among the label’s chart-topping roster that includes Morgan Wallen and HARDY. Blending modern country production with grounded, honest songwriting, McKeever began shaping his sound and stage presence in his home state of California, performing at venues like The Maverick and House of Blues Anaheim. Since relocating to Nashville in June 2024, his momentum has skyrocketed, earning him national attention and bigger stages. Since the release of his debut album Devils & Angels on December 6, McKeever has racked up nearly 20 million streams, with over half of that total coming post-album. On social media, he continues to generate serious buzz, consistently reaching more than 5 million monthly impressions and 600,000+ interactions, underscoring his growing grassroots fanbase and national reach. A seasoned performer, McKeever has logged over 400 live shows, including opening slots for Cody Johnson, Ashley Cooke, Gabby Barrett, Lee Greenwood, Dylan Scott, Chris Janson, and Drew Baldridge. His streaming success is matched by over 30 featured placements on DSP-curated playlists, including Spotify’s Next From NashvilleFresh FindsFresh Finds Country, and New Music Friday Country, Amazon’s Breakthrough Country, and Apple Music’s New in Country. Since Devils & Angels, McKeever has continued to deliver fan-favorite releases, including the emotional “I’ve Known Better” (video released March 21), “Tennessee Orange (Breakup Version)” (March 28), a reimagined take on Megan Moroney’s Tennessee Orange, and the high-octane full-length video for “Lightning Speed” (June 23), which captures the chaos and thrill of chasing a dream. With “Break My Heart Tonight” now available and “Hold You To It” ushering in a bold new era under Big Loud, Timmy McKeever’s rise is only just beginning.
