Chris Ruediger released his upbeat new single, “Til It Wasn’t,” on Thursday (Feb. 25).
The breakup anthem finds the TikTok star singing about a relationship that ran its course and as the lyrics suggest, “we were everything, til we were nothing / it was good, it was good, til it wasn’t.”
Written back in June 2020, Ruediger explains that the infectious track is “about a relationship ending not because of a fight or issue but because it simply ran it course,” adding, “It was beautiful in the moment while it lasted.”
After Ruediger’s sister shared a clip of the new song’s chorus, the track quickly became a fan-favorite and the charts prove that. Since its midnight release, the song climbed the iTunes charts and continues to, as it currently sits at No. 2 on the iTunes Country Chart and at No. 12 on the all genre iTunes chart, above the likes of Billie Eilish, Chris Stapleton, Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen and more.
