Zach Bryan and Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia went through a public breakup earlier this year. So far, he has been silent on the matters of their relationship and its end. LaPaglia, on the other hand, has not. She spoke at length about their split and made heavy allegations against the singer/songwriter on her podcast. As the year draws to a close, though, it seems that Bryan is breaking his silence with new songs.

Bryan recently wrapped his Quittin’ Time Tour. Now, it looks like he’s using the downtime to process his feelings and write new songs. In the past few days, he has posted snippets of two new songs that were seemingly inspired by the breakup.
He first took to social media the day after Christmas to share a snippet of an untitled song with his fans and followers. In it, he sings, She’s got a lover / Under our old covers / And I don’t have the heart to ask her why. /Does he know that the bedframe is aimed at the windowsill / So the sun wakes you up on your left side.
It’s hard not to think the’s singing about watching an ex move on.
The next day, he returned to social media with another snippet. In this one, he sings about holding his tongue and someone being crueler than the Devil. I got a bloody tongue / from all the holding it I do. / I met the Devil down in Tulsa. / But he ain’t as cruel as you, he sings in the snippet.
Zach Bryan Fans Have Been Waiting for This Moment
Zach Bryan’s fans knew this day would come. LaPaglia’s podcast gives her a platform from which to speak. However, outside of making social media posts or going on someone else’s podcast, Bryan doesn’t have a comparable place from which to share his side of things. Instead, like other songwriters, he pours his emotions and experiences into the songs he writes. As a result, fans knew that they would hear songs inspired by his latest heartbreak before too long.
It looks like 2025 will bring more new music from Bryan in which he might tell his side of the story.
