After two years, Dan + Shay are back with new music, releasing their new single, “Save Me The Trouble,” along with the video for the track. Smyers said via a statement: “I don’t think I’ve ever been prouder of a song that I am this one. We wanted to have something that was a real moment, and when we started writing this, it felt like it could be something big. I wanted every section to build, and even in the second chorus, when you’re like, ‘Okay, there’s no way it could possibly get any crazier,’ then Shay takes off even further.”  You can take a look at the video for “Save Me The Trouble,” – here.
