Multi-platinum country pop artist Mitchell Tenpenny has unleashed his latest single and video, “Therapy,” a cheeky, upbeat anthem for anyone who’s ever needed a good breakup song to shout along to. Written by Tenpenny with Chris Destefano, Thomas Archer, and Andy Albert, the track is available now on all streaming platforms.
“Pretty cute,” wrote Bob Oermann in MusicRow. “He’s wishing nothing but bad for his ex. Mostly, he hopes she winds up in therapy because of the lousy way she’s treated him. A banger with smiles for miles.” That review sums up the song’s mix of humor and heartbreak perfectly—classic Tenpenny, who’s known for pairing catchy hooks with a wink of mischief.
For the music video, Tenpenny teamed up for the first time with director Ty Combs and producer Josh Berry. Shot just outside of Nashville, the video finds Mitchell playing an overly attentive executive assistant whose “too close for comfort” behavior turns darkly funny. The concept plays into the song’s playful tone—a mix of tongue-in-cheek storytelling and emotional release.
“My song ‘Therapy’ is not really about anyone specific,” says Tenpenny. “It’s more of a lighthearted, bitter song when somebody just does you wrong. You just want to have that anthem to scream out to make yourself feel better as you’re driving through the day. Just have fun with it, don’t take it too seriously, and I hope it helps you!”
Fresh off Jordan Davis’ Ain’t Enough Road Tour, which saw him perform at legendary venues including Radio City Music Hall, The Greek Theatre, and Red Rocks, Tenpenny shows no signs of slowing down. With “Therapy,” he adds another infectious anthem to his growing catalog—one that’s equal parts cathartic and irresistibly fun.
