Maddox Batson Releases "I Don't Like You Anymore" as Lead Single From Debut EP "First Dance"
Maddox Batson has unveiled his latest single, "I Don't Like You Anymore", marking another milestone toward his debut EP 'First Dance'. Released on February 6, 2025, the track offers a clever twist on the conventional love song, delivering a fresh perspective on young romance.
The Warner Records Inc. release brings together an impressive creative team, with production by micha3ljoseph and songwriting contributions from Batson, Ashley Gorley, Hunter Phelps, and David. The accompanying music video, helmed by director Jake The Shooter and produced by Shooter Co, pairs Batson with YouTuber JiJi Wonder in a touching portrayal of young love's journey.
Despite his young age, Batson demonstrates remarkable maturity in his songwriting. "I Don't Like You Anymore" masterfully plays with expectations, using its titular phrase to reveal deeper emotions. The chorus crystallizes this sentiment: "I don't like you anymore / I ain't sayin that we're done / Hate to break it to you baby / I think you could be the one," transforming a seemingly negative statement into a declaration of profound affection.
Since launching his TikTok cover performances in August 2023, Batson's rise has been meteoric. His partnership with Warner Records and Prosper Entertainment has yielded successful singles including "Tears in the River" and "X's," with the latter accumulating over 16 million global streams. His songwriting credentials extend beyond his own releases, having co-written the US Billboard Hot 100 track "Tough" for Lana Del Rey and Quavo.
Fans can catch Maddox Batson live during his upcoming "Road to Indio" tour, scheduled for March through April 2025 across multiple U.S. cities. This tour represents a significant step forward for the emerging artist as he continues to establish his distinctive voice in country music.
