Fast-rising Adelaide punk-pop duo Teenage Joans drop infectious new single ‘My Heart’s Dead!’. Following recent appearances alongside Foo Fighters, Sum 41, and Sleeping With Sirens — and riding the buzz from their nostalgic ‘Disney Channel’ era track ‘Sweet And Slow’ — Teenage Joans return with a playful, tongue-in-cheek anthem that tackles heartbreak with their signature wit and charm.

Speaking about the new single, vocalist and guitarist Cahli Blakers shares, “Funnily enough, ‘My Heart’s Dead!’ started with a Ke$ha song. When we did triple j’s Like A Version in 2024, one of the songs we considered covering was “Die Young” by Ke$ha. It never made the cut, but we loved the bones of our interpretation and we really wanted to do something with it. We basically posed the question - what if Ke$ha made a song with Blink 182? That’s where the reoccurring pop hook came from, and we obviously pumped the song full of attitude.

Cahli continues “My Heart’s Dead!” is a playful tounge-in-cheek song that dramatically asks if someone could make you fall in love again by implying that “I’ll never find love”. We really wanted to write a song where there are three main vocal hooks that repeat throughout the whole song and layer over each other at the end for a huge singalong that people can easily pick up at our live shows.”
