Melanie Dyer Releases Heartbreaking New Song, “Cheating on Me”

Make sure you’ve got tissues on hand before you press play on Melanie Dyer’s new single “Cheating on Me”. This heartbreaking song recalls Melanie’s own experiences with an unfaithful partner. You can hear the pain in her voice as she delivers this one.

“I knew this song would be my hardest to write and I realised I needed to take my time to really sit with my emotions to understand what it was that I needed to say,” she explained. “While this song is my most personal yet, I feel like it’s also relatable for so many people. for anyone whose lost themselves, whether that’s in a relationship or situation where they haven’t been true to themselves. It’s about leaving someone to be with yourself.”

“Cheating on Me” is the latest track lifted from Melanie’s new album Between You & Me, which is slated for released on September 9. To celebrate its release, Melanie will hit the road with Caitlyn Shadbolt, her collaborator on previous single “Dumb Decisions”. Catch the Dumb Decisions tour when it rolls into your town in the coming months.

Take a Swig of Melanie Dyer’s “Cheap Moscato”

Melanie Dyer’s new country-pop single “Cheap Moscato” may be her most relatable yet. I mean, who hasn’t had a crazy, romantic night fuelled by cheap booze?

“The concept for Cheap Moscato came to me about five years ago and I still have a voice memo of the original recording on my phone,” she recalled. “It’s a song that I tested a few times at gigs over the years and felt always connected really well with the crowd – especially women. I revisited the song recently with Rory Grounds in Sydney and I then co-produced the song alongside Pat Byrne and Peter Holz (who also produced “Run Out Of Road”).

“The song was as fun to record as it was to write. Having a big part in the production was important to me and gave the song that female touch that it called for. Stacking the vocal harmonies and building the track layer by layer lead us to a song that’s playful, fun and a little flirty, like the way Moscato tastes. “Cheap Moscato” is for rounding up your girlfriends and letting your hair down over a few wines.”
