Seaforth Take Us Behind The Scenes Of 'Breakups' Video: See The Photos

Rising country duo Seaforth's latest single, "Breakups," hear the act offer up a tale as old as time. However, the inspiration behind the track hit close to home for Tom Jordan and Mitch Thompson. They were in the middle of quarantine and the latter decided to pull memories from a long-distance romance as the starting point for what would end up as their latest single.

"I wasn’t necessarily nervous writing it. Songwriting is great therapy, and writing this song really helped me through a tough time," Jordan told iHeartRadio of the mid-tempo cut, which was written alongside Thompson, as well as Liz Rose and Cameron Bedell. It was also recorded while Jordan was dealing with COVID-19 symptoms. "It's a funny timestamp thing looking back now, thinking about how tough of a place I was in when we wrote it versus where I am now. It always gets better. But it’s been really special to see people engage with the song, relate to it, send us their stories, etc. Breakups are clearly a universal thing, so the fact that I had to go through a hard time and end up with this song from it gives me a little bit of peace and clarity."

The Australian-bred twosome also took Jordan's romantic severing and brought it to life with its accompany music video, which was shot in Nashville. The almost four-minute visual features the pair performing the track on the sidelines as viewers see a former couple struggle to move on from one another while being in different time zones. "Nashville is where half of the story of the song stems from, so it holds a bit of weight for that reason, too," Seaforth said of the clip, adding that they "tried to have the two-character scenarios set in different time zones, night and day, with Nashville being one of them."

Asked what he learned from the breakup, Jordan admitted that he thought he was lost without his girl, but the split offered him insight into how people come in and out of your life. "Every relationship is a lesson and every breakup prepares you for the right one eventually, in one way or another, no matter how hard it may be in the moment and after," he said.

Since the release of "Breakups," which serves as their follow-up to 2020's "Close Enough," Jordan has spoken with his former flame and considers their present-day relationship a full-circle moment. "The breakup was a long time ago now and we both grew a lot from it, and are in very different but exciting places in our lives these days," he explained. "It's cool to come back around, have a mutual understanding and respect for the whole situation and our past, and be able to move past it and be friends. She’s actually an amazing songwriter and artist, too. We both wrote songs about each other after the breakup, and we’ve both heard them. It's weird."
