Singer, songwriter, and storyteller Michael Marcagi releases the gut-wrenching single ‘Tear It All Apart.’ Boasting the raw lyricism he has become known for, the new offering captures the heartache that accompanies coming of age. It's Marcagi's first release since dropping his critically acclaimed American Romance EP, which features the global hit single ‘Scared to Start.’
‘Tear It All Apart’ is a song about growing up and having your sense of home changing, while also looking the same as it was when you were a kid,” Marcagi explains. “And how the places we go back and visit can evoke such unique and specific memories."
“I still drive to my parents’ house, laugh and leave it in the mirror," the breakout artist croons over methodical guitar strumming and building percussion. "It still holds all my memories, but my parents haven’t lived there in 4 years.” Emotions overflow on the track’s soaring chorus: “And all I’ve done is take your love and tear it all apart.” Intimate and disarming, Marcagi's latest slice-of-life anthem casts an emotional spell tinged with nostalgia.
‘Tear It All Apart’ arrives soon after the vinyl release of his Warner Records debut EP American Romance. Its lead single, ‘Scared to Start,’ peaked at #9 in the Official Charts — amassing more than 380 million global streams in the process. On June 17, Marcagi made his late night TV debut performing the hit on Late Night With Seth Meyers.
No doubt, ‘Scared to Start,’ ‘The Other Side,’ and ‘Tear It All Apart’ will be highlights of Marcagi's tour, which follows his already sold-out headline tour across North America, New Zealand and Australia. The new tour reaches London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town in January 2025. Tickets are on sale now below.
