It is amazing to think that a painful breakup can help build a career. For singer Teddy Swims, 32, his biggest songs came from his hardest times. He just had a breakout year, even performing his song “Lose Control” at the CMA Awards. It shows that our past can sometimes lead to our biggest moments. He says he feels “fulfilled” and “grateful” for where he is now.
A lot of his success comes from “The Door,” a song about saving himself from a bad place. He wrote the painful words, “I said I would die for you, baby/ But I can not take this pain any more.” He finally chose to save his own life. Today, Teddy is not angry. He thanks his ex for that trauma, turning it into music he can now celebrate with other people who understand that exact feeling.
