Fast-rising Adelaide juice-box punk-pop duo Teenage Joans have today released their infectious new single, ‘My Heart’s Dead!’.
Speaking of the new single vocalist and guitarist Cahli Blakers shares, “Funnily enough, ‘My Heart’s Dead!’ started with a Ke$ha song. When we did triple j’s Like A Version in 2024, one of the songs we considered covering was ‘Die Young’ by Ke$ha. It never made the cut, but we loved the bones of our interpretation and we really wanted to do something with it. We basically posed the question – what if Ke$ha made a song with Blink 182? That’s where the reoccurring pop hook came from, and we obviously pumped the song full of attitude.
Cahli continues “’My Heart’s Dead!’ is a playful tounge-in-cheek song that dramatically asks if someone could make you fall in love again by implying that “I’ll never find love”. We really wanted to write a song where there are three main vocal hooks that repeat throughout the whole song and layer over each other at the end for a huge singalong that people can easily pick up at our live shows.”
