Midland’s latest single is called “Cheatin’ Songs,” and lead singer Mark Wystrach thinks what makes the song so interesting is the juxtaposition between the melody and the lyrics. He says, “There’s a groove and a joy to it. And that’s what’s cool, musically that song kind of lifts you up and then you kind of realize that this song is about a guy getting his heart stomped on and she’s doing it in fashion and having a pretty good time doing it. You know I mean?”
All the guys in Midland have their own experiences of being cheated on in their past relationships, which is why they felt the song would be something a lot of, if not most people, would find relatable.
