Amy Macdonald – shares the new single ‘‘I’m Done (Games That You Play)’

Amy Macdonald is riding high, fresh from the news that her new record, ‘Is This What You’ve Been Waiting For?’, debuted at #8 – a position that ensures that all six of her albums so far have reached the Top 10. Its launch was amplified by it being named as Radio 2’s Album of the Week. Meanwhile, she is also seeing phenomenal demand and multiple sold-out shows for her upcoming UK and European tours. That momentum shows no sign of slowing down as Amy today shares the fan favourite album track ‘I’m Done (Games That You Play)’ as her new single.

Propelled by high energy acoustic pop-rock melody and a passionate vocal that recasts a personal experience as a universal emotion, ‘I’m Done (Games That You Play)’ captures the essence of a songwriter whose broad appeal has already seen her amass over a billion streams and 12 million sales, as well as 12 Platinum certifications across the world. While ‘I’m Done (Games That You Play)’ confronts an awkward, uncomfortable emotion, it’s not in any shape a song of self pity – it’s about having the maturity, self-confidence and empowerment to accept that not all friendships are eternal.
 
Amy co-wrote the song with producer Nicolas Rebscher, who is one of her two main collaborators on ‘Is This What You’ve Been Waiting For?’ along with the Grammy winning Jim Abbiss (AdeleArctic Monkeys).
 
Amy says, “‘I’m Done’ is ultimately a song about life and friendships and having to make hard decisions; sometimes you just have to walk away. It was written on the first day I met Nico – it was strange for me because I’d never written with anyone I didn’t actually know before. It can be quite hard to put your thoughts and feelings out there when you’ve only just met, thankfully Nico immediately put me at ease, he was so chilled and had such great musical ideas that the lyrics just came to me.”
