“Tired of Fixing a Broken Heart” hits with a calm honesty that makes you stop and really hear what’s being said.” Mathea-Mari leans into a softer, more reflective sound on this pop-country-tinged ballad, opening with crisp guitar fingerpicking that immediately sets a grounded, emotional tone.
There’s a subtle early-2000s feel woven through the production—simple percussion, warm acoustic textures, and clean instrumentation that gives her voice plenty of space to lead.
The buildup into the chorus is one of the song’s strongest moments, letting the tension rise without ever getting messy or overdone. When she reaches “I’m tired of fixing a broken heart,” the line lands with a relatable weight, especially for anyone who’s ever held on too long hoping someone would become who they promised to be. Lyrics like “You said that you would change, but change is not an option” show a quiet, steady kind of strength rather than dramatics.
Vocally, Mathea-Mari finds that balance between maturity and youthful clarity, carrying the emotional tone without forcing it. It’s a strong showing for the Norwegian artist—already celebrated on Norway’s Got Talent and Eurovision Junior—and a solid continuation of the momentum she’s built with millions of TikTok views and her current comeback releases.
Give it a listen, add it to your rotation, and keep an eye on an artist who’s proving she can deliver both vulnerability and polish.
