Canadian country artists Taylor-Rae and Antonio Larosa have joined forces for a powerful new duet called “Hearts Don’t Break.”
The song is out now on all streaming platforms and was co-written with award-winning songwriter David Borys.
The song follows two people who can’t let go, even though they both know the love has faded.
A Song About Holding On Too Long
“Hearts Don’t Break” tells the story of a couple who know their love is over but keep trying anyway. The song is full of emotion, with soft guitar, strong vocals, and lyrics that hit hard.
Antonio Larosa’s soulful voice blends perfectly with Taylor-Rae’s powerhouse vocals. Together, they create a sound that feels both classic and modern … with delicious harmonies.
“The song is about two people who both know the love is gone but they’re still hanging on,” says Larosa. “It captures that painful space between holding on and letting go.”
Raw Emotion and Real Connection
From the first line, “Hearts Don’t Break” feels honest and real. The music builds slowly, giving both singers room to shine. Their harmonies rise in the final chorus, making for a powerful finish.
Taylor-Rae says the song came together naturally when she, Antonio, and David Borys wrote it.
“‘Hearts Don’t Break’ digs into wanting to make a relationship work and hanging onto it, to the point where you’re just hurting each other,” she says. “Sometimes something isn’t the right fit, even though you wish it was.”
Their voices carry that feeling … the mix of love, loss, and what-ifs, in every word.
Two Canadian Artists with Heart
Antonio Larosa mixes country, blues, and rock to create his signature sound. His sound takes inspiration from artists like Johnny Cash and Chris Stapleton. The Vancouver-born artist has earned two Roots Artist of the Year awards from the BC Country Music Association (2023 and 2025).
His live shows are full of energy and emotion, winning over fans across Canada.
