Madeline (Zach Bryan song)
2025 single by Zach Bryan featuring Gabriella Rose
"Madeline" is a song by American singer-songwriter Zach Bryan, released on July 18, 2025. It features American singer Gabriella Rose.
Composition
The song uses a stripped-down and "undulating" instrumental with guitar strums. Lyrically, it depicts the singers as a pair of lovers who are separated from each other and longing to be together despite their issues. The song revolves around a man being unable to move on from a past romance with a woman named Madeline. He admits he feels like he is "waiting 'round to die again". In the first verse, Zach Bryan addresses a picture of them holding a pitcher of their favorite beer (using wordplay), expressing how they seem to be different people in the present. Gabriella Rose sings the next verse from the perspective of Madeline in response, sharing his loneliness. She is in a fancy hotel, but would rather be in the run-down motel where they spent a night together, and pleads for him to come home. Bryan returns in the final verse, in which he asks someone at the bar to tell Madeline how much he needs her if they ever see her and wonders in frustration if she is back with her old boyfriend whom he disapproves of.
