Brand new single, &#8216;Song About You&#8217; is a melodic genre-defying track, and is the first single from his upcoming album. &#8216;Song About You&#8217; was released on September 10th, via Island Records.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Song About You&#8217; is a piercing introspective look at a relationship that didn\u2019t work out, and dredges up the pain that comes when love seems to be in the palm of one\u2019s hand and yet is impossible to grasp. The song has the principle characteristics of Mike\u2019s finest work, in that it allows us to hear what only Mike can be feeling, while at the same time striking a recognizable chord inside all of us who\u2019ve suffered through our own unique romantic collapses.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Random Ad stuff --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2076862002005673\" data-ad-slot=\"3107208401\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p><script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A line at the heart of the song says it all for millions of us at some point in our lives: &#8220;I think I miss something I never had.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We\u2019ve all felt the exasperation in Mike\u2019s voice as he sings this song, maybe even his resounding howl, and we can easily recognize the sadness coming through Mike\u2019s guitar that brings a sense of resignation to his frustration.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;Song About You&#8217; is filled with the same piercing honesty that brought &#8216;I Took A Pill In Ibiza&#8217; a Grammy nomination, and sent it streaming around the world more than a billion times.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For Mike, &#8216;Song About You&#8217; is yet another self-cleanse.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIt was good to make this song because of all the angst that was inside me.
