Online momentum meets debut moment as Deltona share ‘Heartbreak Fix’ and tease what is next
Deltona’s first official single, ‘Heartbreak Fix’, comes after a rapid social rise that saw the trio gather nearly 14,000 TikTok followers in around six months.
Their posts have highlighted easy charisma, tight musicianship, and heartfelt covers of modern country classics by Jason Aldean, Eric Church, Luke Combs, and Morgan Wallen. Teaser snippets of demos like ‘Leave the Country’ and ‘Love Don’t Love Me’ have also appeared, building curiosity for original music.
That promise arrives in full across an equal parts anthemic and emotional debut. The single merges gritty Southern storytelling with big rock riffing and a melodic core. Georgia bred frontman Ned Abernathy sings through the ache, letting his guard down in search of relief from relationship pain, while the band behind him pushes the song toward both radio and the stage.
“I’ll hold up in this house, I’ll drive a thousand miles, do anything to get past this / I’ll put the bottle down, I’ll outdrink any crowd, if there’s a way out / Hell, there ain’t a stone I wouldn’t turn to put back together what’s broke / When it comes to her I don’t know if there’s a heartbreak fix.”
Instrumentally, the trio’s identity is unmistakable. From Ohio, Caleb Miller piles on layers of guitar, from distorted shred to lines that climb high to a raw acoustic strum that grounds the track. From Tennessee, Chris Deaton’s arena sized drums drive the chorus forward. Ned’s twang can lift, ease, or slide into a slick cadence, turning the lyric into a sing along built for both barroom anthems and festival energy.
The band sums up the moment directly. “We couldn’t be more stoked to have ‘Heartbreak Fix’ out!” says Deltona. “We’ve spent the past year writing countless songs and we’re so proud of what we’ve come up with so far. Our passion is country music and we feel like the time is right for another great country band. We hope you agree, and that you love ‘Heartbreak Fix’ as much as we do!”
The track was written by Deltona with Allison Veltz Cruz, whose work includes Jason Aldean and Dierks Bentley, and produced by Jason Massey, also known for collaborations with Nate Smith and Kelsea Ballerini, marking an ambitious introduction.
